> Now I have two issues with this.  First, I don't really want a folder on my server called index.php.  I see that I can change the folder path using something called the $edit function, but I don't know enough about php at this point to attempt it.  Second, regardless of the folder used, I'll have to manually create it myself and make it writeable will I not?  The instructions say nothing about setting up the path to the ics file.
> Third, what triggers the script to generate the file?  I'm assuming it hasn't tried yet, since the path isn't available on the server and I haven't gotten an error from the script.  I dnow how to link to the file once it's generated, but how can I make sure the script is constantly updating and maintaining the file?

> Finally, would any one mind if  I clean up the instructions once I know what I'm doing and have the thing working?  The layout is difficult to use and there are gaps as you can see.
