How can I set a column to display the day of the week for the corresponding value in a date column for each item? Many thanks!!

I bet there is another method, but I did some experimenting and found something that works.
 
Make a new text-type field.  Name it whatever you want.  In the Equations section of the Field Properties dialog, enter the following in the Row Equation box:
 
weekdayname(weekday([DueDate]))
 
Replace "DueDate" with the name of date field whose day-of-week name you want to display.
 
If you want an abbreviated day of week name, use this instead:
 
weekdayname(weekday([DueDate]),true)

jimspoon, thank you very, very much for taking the time to point me in the right direction.
 
I created a column that would show an appointment associated with an item in a compact format including the day of the week. I added this column at the left of my Action grid so I can have unscheduled and scheduled todos in the same grid and put them in a custom order. Say I have an appointment at 10, but still have some time to do stuff before then. I can now drag the appointment into the action grid to remind me of it and drag items I want to do before I leave above it in the grid. Somehow this modus operandi works very well for me. Here is a simple example:

 Good for you!  You put a lot of good info into that column.
