The situation is that I want my Cube to wake up early in the morning

Applescript (which I have already written, and which works well)
will go out to
the internet and get my e-mail, news and weather so that all of this will be
waiting for me when I get up. This is easily done by a program called iBeeZz
which is a preference pane. Unfortunately, I also want the computer
to wake up
late in the afternoon to do the same things before I get home from work. At
this time my only recourse is to manually go into System Preferences, open
iBeeZz, and re-set the time to wake and I need to do this twice a day, every
day. I thought that I should be able to Applescript this, but neither iBeeZz
nor System Preferences seems to have an Applescript dictionary. Nor do they
seem to be amenable to the new GUI manipulation Applescript addition.
I don't have anything to offer regarding plists but I want to let you
know that it is possible to script the iBeeZz pref pane using GUI
scripting. I have a script under development to address the very
issue that you mention - the need for multiple wake-up times.
Unfortunately, the script is not complete or ready for prime time.
If you plan to pursue a GUI script solution, I suggest, in case you
aren't aware, that you use Apple's UI Element Inspector or, better
yet, Prefab's UI Browser. One or both of these tools will greatly
decrease your development time.
