> # Garbage

> # Monday == 1 and Friday == 5.  Set garbdayname to the matching
> # day name.
> 
> # Example below: Friday
> set garbday 5
> set garbdayname "Friday"
> 
> fset _garbhol(x) wkdaynum(x) == garbday && slide(x-garbday, garbday) != x
> fset _garbdel() iif($Tw != garbday, " (Delayed)", "")
> 
> REM [garbdayname] AFTER OMITFUNC _garbhol MSG Garbage[_garbdel()]
> #=======================================================================
> 
> To understand how this works, you'll need to look up the OMITFUNC clause
