Hi, cheshirekat.

The four lines inserted below give the results you want fairly economically.

               set t to (the time of (the evProps's start date))
               set the evStartTime to text 2 thru 5 of ((10000 + t div
hours * 100 + t mod hours div minutes) as string)
               set t to (the time of (the evProps's end date))
               set the evEndTime to text 2 thru 5 of ((10000 + t div
hours * 100 + t mod hours div minutes) as string)
