Hello,

I am trying to create a program, which should use iCal calendars for
shedulling alarms. My question: is there any way to add event into
calendar by editing calendar file, that iCal launching would not be
required. Because I have tried to add event with alarm manual, but
until iCal is launched, iCal Helper doesn't show my event alarm :(.

Thanks for any your helpfull minds.
