There are some syntax rules, but I havne't figured them out. If you start a new
appointment, you can enter stuff in as you've outlined. The stuff it doesn't
like it will just leave in the appointment title as text, leading to some
strange looking titles.
You can use plain words like tomorrow or Monday, I'm not sure how it treast the
term next, as there are different conventions for if it refers to the next
occurance, like today is Thursday so next Saturday is May 12, or if it means
beyond the current week, like next Saturday is May 19. Ok, having just tried
it, entering next Saturday gave me May 12. Looks like you'd have to use the
specific date to go beyond a week.
I haven't yet discoverd if you can set alarms this way. I'll play with it and
report my findings.
