Interfacing to Mac iCal and Address Book

[Peter Haworth]

Thanks Tom.  I just found a bunch of sample Applescripts on the web  
that do all the basic stuff I need for this.  Since this is not a  
multi-user app and the operations will be quick, one shot, add/read/ 
delete deals, I think Applescript will be fine
