iCal script

Hi,

I'm trying to write a script that will create a number of new events at odd times, corresponding to a school bell schedule (7:44 to 8:28, etc.). I would like the script to create a new period for each time slot for the date selected in iCal. Here's the script I'm working on:

tell application "iCal"
activate
tell calendar 2
make new event at the end of events with properties {start date:date "Thursday, August 31, 2006 7:44:00 AM", end date:date "Thursday, August 31, 2006 8:24:00 AM"}
make new event at the end of events with properties {start date:date "Thursday, August 31, 2006 8:28:00 AM", end date:date "Thursday, August 31, 2006 9:08:00 AM"}
end tell
end tell


Where I'm having difficulty is with the date; I would like the script to use the date currently shown in the iCal window, rather than a date referenced in the script (start date:date "Thursday, August 31, 2006 ). That way, when I'm scheduling meetings for, say, two weeks from the current date, all I have to do is bring up that date in iCal and then run the script.

Any ideas?

Alex
