run the command 

man /usr/man/man5/crontab.5

it will show how to add lines to the /etc/crontab file

If you happen to have a Linux box with KDE handy, you can use "kcron"
which is a nice GUI written by a friend of mine, that allows you to create
a crontab file by point and click. Than you could just copy the right line
from the cron over to the RaQ.
