let's say my doctor told me to take an asperin every day for 20 days, and, after day 20, tell him how I feel. How could I program this into toodledo?

There is no way to set an ending for a repeat. You either have to remove the repeat from a task on the last occurrence you want of it, or delete the task once it is done.

For the situation you mentioned I would do one of the following:

1) Set a daily repeating task to take the aspirin. Create a second task for calling the doctor due 20 days after the start of the repeating task. Write a note in either one of these tasks to delete or remove the repeat from the aspirin task on the last day if you think you might forget.

2)Set a daily repeating task to take aspirin with a note that says to call the doctor on the appropriate day, and another to remind you to delete the task or remove the repeat on that day as well if you think it's necessary.

I would probably go with "1".
