Anybody know how to do timed events with AppleScript? As far as my
knowledge of AppleScript goes (I think it's pretty good, anyway), the
closest thing you can do is an on/end idle loop with a "delay 15" line
or whatever, and then just check for a condition, like a certain time
or date.
Is there actually a way to register an event that should happen at a
certain time on a certain date with AppleScript?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Simone, forget what everybody else writes and use "at".
"man at" will give you more info, but , if it is not clear all post
probably all you need.
"at" is a small pearl that allows one to set an event for a specific
time and make it recurring. I runs even if you are not logged on and
differently than cron and crontab, does not need to go into root mode
to set it. "at" is an user specific application.
It is the best thing you can hope to get
