Need help w/ logic behind recurring tasks

Hi,

I'm confused about something. If I "dismiss" a recurring task's reminder,
the task is closed. I don't get this. The only way as far as I know, the
recurring task will stay alive and the reminder will pop up is if I snooze
it, in which case, the task appears in red as if it's late. This doesn't make
a whole lot of sense to me.

I want to have a daily -- Monday through Friday -- task whose pop up
reminder pops up at the same time everyday. If I dismiss it, it should
dismiss that day's reminder but should pop up again the next day at the same
time.

Am I missing something here? Maybe I don't get the logic.

Thanks,

Sam

If you complete the task, a new one will be generated for the next
recurrence with a new reminder.  Right-click the task in the reminder window
and select "Complete Task".
