You probably want to read the section in the Emacs Lisp manual
entitled "Sexp Entries and the Fancy Diary Display", which points
in the direction of the function `diary-float'.  An online
version of this manual is available at: <URL: http://www.gnu.org/
manual/elisp-manual-21-2.8/html_chapter/elisp_39.html#SEC675>.
