Thanks for the reply.  Yes, I know this diary-sexp, but the trouble with
it is that after I change the state of such a task to DONE, it remains
DONE.  What I want is that when I change the state to DONE, the task
must be rescheduled for the second Sunday of the next month, and the
state reverted to TODO.  This will be like the repeated task
functionality described in the manual.

Cheers,
Raghu.
