Newbie question about iCal and Applescript

Thanks for the useful responses to my question about saving property values.
I'm on OSX BTW.

I started on Applescript because I wanted to use iCal but its reminders
don't work if the machine is sleeping or powered off at the time of the
reminder. So I looked at writing a background script which talked to iCal
to get the calendar info. Only iCal doesn't seem to expose the reminder
info and also calendars had a color attribute but that didn't work when I
tried to access it in a script. Have I missed something here? Or is
Apple's scripting support of variable quality?

In the end I manually parsed the .ICS files as a learning exercise.

Regards, Peter Smith.
