If it's one time only, then probably the simplest solution is to SKIP
that particular event and schedule a separate reminder for the
replacement date:

   PUSH-OMIT-CONTEXT
   OMIT Feb 14 2006
   # don't forget the SKIP keyword below, or the OMIT has no effect
   REM Tue 8 +7 AT 19:00 DURATION 2:00 SKIP MSG OPAG Meeting %b %2.
   POP-OMIT-CONTEXT

   REM Feb 21 2006 AT 19:00 DURATION 2:00 MSG OPAG Meeting %b %2.

You could also work some magic with the AFTER keyword, but it's probably
more work in this case.
