at adds a week to a day if the day is today. To clarify if today is Monday 
and I schedule something as

at 10:00 PM MON < foo

it will execute foo a week from today rather than tonight. I'm using 
scripts to schedule events so I don't want to us TODAY to specify the 
date, I want to use the generic day of the week. Is there a way to make at 
schedule an event on the same day or do I have to put a date test into the 
script?
