periodic advance warning

I've recently discovered remind, and it's fantastic :)

Can remind issue advance warnings, but not every day? I'd like to be
able to say something like

  REM 20 Jan +30/Mon +19/4 +1 MSG foo

which will remind me every Monday in the 30 days before 20 Jan, on the
4,8,12,16,20 of Jan and the 19th Jan too. Is this possible?

every monday within a date range

How can I specify 'every monday between 20 January and 5 March'? At
the moment I'm using 

SET period_start 	'2004/20/1'
SET period_end		'2004/3/5'

if today() >= period_start && today() <= period_end
	Mon		MSG week [(today()-period_start)/7 + 1]
endif

but this means I have to specify the period boundaries explicitly
rather than in words. I was hoping for a one-liner, but I can't see
how to do this.

Yes.  See the man page section "PRECISE SCHEDULING"
