Hi Marcelo,

The easiest thing is to define n distinct events, one for each pf the 
n days of the week for which you wish to schedule it. When I do that, 
I put them all under a `container' heading that exists solely to group 
them.

That isn't entirely satisfactory, but it works well enough for me. You 
can also use sexp diary entries 
<http://orgmode.org/manual/Timestamps.html#Timestamps> though I've 
never bothered.

Best,

Brian vdB
