OK so I see it can be done, but I'm not smart enough to decipher the
library to figure out how to recreate it. What are the commands I
need?

iCal is quite scriptable, but what you want to do is still harder
than it ought to be. Actually, it's all pretty simple except for
the problem of recurring events. Because of how iCal represents
them via scripting, you have to do a lot of work to figure out
exactly what events occur on a particular day (or, more generally,
between two points in time). You can look at Scott Tooker's
"Today's Schedule" Konfabulator widget
<http://www.widgetgallery.com/dl.php?widget=25887> for a working
example.
