OK, so where can I find out what a date object has? Where is the dictionary for the built-in AppleScript classes? 

I extracted it ages ago (last millenium) and published it here:
http://www.tandb.com.au/applescript/class/
I hope that helps.

When done, I have events that have  strings of

               Wednesday 6/27/07 from 11:00:00 AM to 4:00:00 PM

I would like to have universal times of

Wednesday 6/27/07 from 1100 to 1600 

I think you want something like:

set testDate to (current date) -- change to your date from iCal etc
set weekdayString to weekday of testDate
set shortDateString to short date string of testDate
set hoursString to hours of testDate
set minutesString to minutes of testDate
set reformattedDateString to "" & weekdayString & space & shortDateString & space & hoursString & minutesString
