Razor, Yes, I read that page, too. It has pretty much the same limited info on the query parameters, but nothing on the " URL query strings" for add, edit or delete. To do those, they show Atom protocol examples with XML payloads. Flash does not support this. But I know I can add events with full URL query strings, since I am already doing it, and this is what the documentatation says is the primitive construct. I just need to know the names of the rest of the parameters.
I think part of the probelms is in the nomenclature, the term "query string". Perhaps the Google documentation team took the term "query string" literally, and included only the parameters for search in this documentation. They figured that if you were not doing a query, you did not need to know about those. But you probably know that "query string" is slang for any list of parameters following a URL in an http POST, whether is is a query, an insert or modify or any other complicated server request. I think it stems from the fact that all of the object=value& pairs in the string follow a ? in the URL. Anyway I will continue my search. Anything that you or Austin turn up would be very much appreciated. I love Google Calendar too much to give up on it. Thank you.
