I love their early version of crontab.

      Find out what is todays date, ala 830717 (1983, 7'th month, 17'th day)
    as well as what day of the week it is (Sunday) and the standard three letter
    abbreviation (coincidently the first three letters of the long name) (Sun in this case).  The proper spelling for Wed is WEDNESDAY, by the way.

      Look for each of the following and do the appropriate thing (execute
    the command file or type the text file):

      'weekday'.com	! as in "SUNDAY"
      'weekday'.day	! SUNDAY.DAY will be typed
      'dow'.com	! SUN.COM will be executed
      'dow'.day	! SUN.DAY will be typed
      'date'.com	! 830717.com, remember?
      'date'.day	! this gets typed
      daily.com	! every day (7 days a week, not 5)
      daily.day	! this one too
