cheshirekat: You need to make one change in your code. Add 31 to your
list of days. Otherwise you'll never be able to add events to the 31st of
any month that has 31 days.
I think she does not point to 'day in month' but to 'how many days from now'.

I've got plenty of those books as well. Unfortunately never enough time

I use iCal via Powermail, which is a patcher that rejigs something
