[R-SIG-Finance] Adding NYMEX to holidays calendar

[Spencer Graves]

      What level of help do you need?  Have you tried listing the 
function 'holidayNYSE', making a local copy, then editing it do what you 
want?  After you've tried that, please send the results to Diethelm 
Wuertz and me.  If you can't make it work, please explain the problem. 

      Hope this helps.
