Bah, if only I took just a minute longer before hitting 'Send'!  :-P  All I 
needed was double-quotes on the set to be deleted.

i.e.:  $tr -d "\r" < Outlook2vCal_23-Sep-2004.vcs > 
Outlook2vCal_23-Sep-2004.vcs.nocr

Getting rid of the \r's has eliminated my need to add a space to the beginning 
of each line in each DESCRIPTION property.  Thanks for that lead.  :-)

However, the notes in korganizer still don't respect the \n.  Any leads to 
solving that would be great.  But I think I'm pretty close now.  I still need 
to evaluate each DESCRIPTION property for some rogue characters that need 
escaping.  Thanks to everyone for their help so far, especially Stephen.

Curtis
