Well, 'at=23:50' is a bad example as you could be delayed due to joblimit
or other interference.  But all sorts of things 'could' happen.  Anyway...
 
>IN= and AT= are mutually exclusive; Otherwise this would be trivial.
 
Yes, but DAY= and AT= are not; it just takes more code to get the proper
day (and granted, 'things' can still happen).  As I suggested 7/21/95 to
submit a job at 7:05 AM on weekdays (still not perfect, but self-correcting
each week):
 
!if hpday < 2 or hpday > 5 then
!   stream usatoday;day=mon;at=7:05
!else
!   if hphour=7 and hpminute=5 then
!      stream usatoday;in=1
!   else
!      stream usatoday;at=7:05
!   endif
!endif
