Hello Mark, As John said, pressing the Return key will move you past the initial Event entry field. In Lion's iCal, when you press Command+N to create a new event, it opens a dialog labeled "Create Quick Event" with the VO cursor placed in the single edit field. Before you type anything, if you VO left you should hear VO announce "Create Quick Event" and when you VO right again into the edit field you should hear VO give you an example of what to type in that field. The default example says something like, "Fish and chips for breakfast tomorrow at Lynne and Gordon's place." iCal tries to interpret what you've written and automatically creates an event at the matching time and day. There are other options for creating and modifying events, and I'd recommend taking a look at the brief and accessible guide found in iCal's Help menu / iCal Help. Specifically, there's a section titled "Set up Events" and I've pasted the first part of that section below.
HTH, Bryan Click Add (+) at the top of the iCal window or press Command (⌘)-N. Events are added automatically to your default calendar. If you want to choose a different calendar for the event, hold down the Add button (+), and then choose a calendar. To change your default calendar, choose iCal > Preferences, click General, and then select a calendar from the Default Calendar pop-up menu. Enter a name, date, and time duration for the event, and then press Return. For example, you can enter “Super Bowl Party Feb 6,” “Movie with Rebecca on Friday at 7pm,” “Soccer Game on Saturday from 11am-1pm,” or “Breakfast with Jon,” and then press Return. If you don’t enter a time duration for the event, iCal sets the event’s duration to 1 hour. If you don’t enter any time information for the event, iCal makes the event an all-day event. If you enter “breakfast” or “morning,” iCal sets the event to start at 9 a.m. If you enter “lunch “ or “noon,” iCal sets the event to start at 12 p.m. If you enter “dinner” or “night,” iCal sets the event to start at 8 p.m. To set any other event options (for example, to set your event to repeat, add an alert, or invite others to the event), make your changes in the event’s editor, and then click Done.
