[Remind-Fans] delayed start, and omitting a range

[Mark Eli Kalderon]

OK not sure about date ranges in OMITs (I haven't had to use them  
yet), but supposing April 1 is the day you want to omit, I would do  
something like the following (I added an UNTIL clause that marks the  
end of the class---change the date as appropriate):

PUSH-OMIT-CONTEXT
     OMIT April 1 2008
     REM Jan 12 2008 *7 SKIP AT 09:00 DURATION 01:00 UNTIL May 1 2008  
MSG Class
POP-OMIT-CONTEXT

Best, Mark
