I have a single text file (a .vcs from Outlook2vCal) that requires some 
modifications before importing into korganizer (apparently a bug in 
korganizer, but I couldn't find a solution in the archives upon first swath 
and I'm kind of anxious to be rid of Outlook ;-).

Specifically, the DESCRIPTION section in every VEVENT needs to be edited such 
that:

-every comma is escaped (strange, other nasty characters like ':' already are)
-each additional line after the first must start with a space (otherwise it is 
ignored, don't ask me why)
-newline/carriage return is honored (currently not -- additional lines are 
strung together... but is the newline/carriage return character actually 
there?  I don't know -- how to check?)

I am a total n00b when it comes to sed or awk, but if they're appropriate I 
have no problems ramping up in a hurry.

Thanks,
Curtis
