   Hi! Richard,   
      
   On Thu, 09 Feb 12, you wrote to me:   
      
    RW> Just had a look at what.com from HOrst, used Timo's level to test   
    RW> waht it does when given the command

   [ ...trimmed... ]   
    RW> I've got a year to play with that one, but I think that'll   
    RW> do it!   
      
   I had in mind something simple, like...   
      
   -+- 8< ---   
   WHAT day   
   IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO NEWMONTH   
      
   :NEWMONTH   
   :: Do your processing for a following new month...   
   --- 8< ---   
      
   That way it doesn't matter what month, or whether the year is a leap year or   
   not, it just does a new week's worth of post-able notes over the rollover   
   period.   
      
    RW> Thanks for reminding me of those.  I use some other tools   
    RW> for handling day of the month, so never really looked at   
    RW> either one that closely.  I've got all of HOrst's little   
    RW> tools on my dos path though, and the documentation handy,   
    RW> just because i know there will be just the occasion when   
    RW> they're the right tool .   
      
   Me too.  I'm looking for something to use ISDATE with now... there must   
   something I can invent...  It looks too groovy to leave it alone.  ;-)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
