One caveat; it is not necessarily the case that an application will reload its defaults while running. iCal may; I don't know. However, in general you need to restart an application after modifying defaults -- sometimes you need to quit the application first! It's like editing /etc/ttys; you need to tell init about the changes by `kill -HUP 1`. Ricky The information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.
