and an index @var{n}. The entry appears on the @var{n}th @var{dayname}
-of @var{month}, where @var{dayname}=0 means Sunday, 1 means Monday, and
-so on. If @var{n} is negative it counts backward from the end of
-@var{month}. The value of @var{month} can be a list of months, a single

-parameter @var{day} to specify the @var{n}th @var{dayname} of

-to 1 if @var{n} is positive and to the last day of @var{month} if
-@var{n} is negative. For example,
