Hi,

That worked.

Thanks very much.  This will save some embarrassment for users
who occasionally mark an event in their calendar.

I'd also like to remark on how pleasant it is to get help
like this from an open source developer without
the demi-god undertones of some mailing lists.  It is
much appreciated.  You're doing great work.
