How to enter a time of day

[Jeffrey Massung]

Pete,

If your app runs exclusively on the Mac you may want to just look at integrating iCal into it with AppleScript and handle it that way...

When your app launches or whenever is appropriate, let the user select a calendar file that's exclusive to your app. The user could open it in iCal to adjust things or open it through your app. You could likely then use AppleScript to get various date/times from it to do your tasks. 

I don't use iCal (much) and have never looked to see what functionality is provided for it through AppleScript. But you may end getting a very win-win out of this: let the user thing "awesome!" because it "just works" with iCal and let's you relax and let iCal do most of the heavy lifting in this department. :-)
