I'd love to see the finished result. In my case though, I would modify it for Now-Up-To-Date & Contact (NUDC), instead of iCal. NUDC is supposedly fully scriptable and should therefore be an excellent candidate for such modifications. Let us know how things are progressing. My only problem is that the coding part of my brain seems to have fossilized, possibly due to almost 12 years of fatherhood. In the past I've coded in languages ranging from BASIC to VAX Assembler to COBOL to Modula 2, with C, FORTRAN and Pascal thrown in for good measure. Yet Applescript continues to confound me beyond the simplest of routines. :-( -- Tim Lapin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
