Hello Michele,

  I think the first thing you should try is adding this to your xemacs
  startup file:

(add-hook 'diary-display-hook 'fancy-diary-display)

  Then your diary display will look like:

Friday, 15 February 2008
========================
Salsa

You second example will work better also.  Though, it is a little
confusing.  It will only be valid on Feb 8, 2008.  I'm not sure why
you specify the block when only 1 date will be selected.

I get this for your 3rd example:

Saturday, 9 February 2008
=========================
Nino is 4th 

Enjoy!
