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.
