Looking for help with the syntax for the MEL_SEND_FLAG data symbol. I want to delay the sending of the flag by X number of days.

Are you looking for something other than when you start a new flag to change the start date to the date you want to send it.
This can be done by putting in the date you want that flag to go.

I want the flag to go 1 day into the future from the day the button/action was taken to send the flag. This is to be incorporated into a custom form.

The fourth argument in MEL_SEND_FLAG should help you. From the help file:
MEL_SEND_FLAG (Type, To, Priority, Due date, Subject, Message, Chart_tab, Expiration date)
What you want to put in there to accomplish your goal, is something like this:
ADDDATES(str(._todaysdate),"0","0","1")
That should return a string of tomorrow's date. Per the help entry for MEL_SEND_FLAG that should do it.
