thanx nigel,
both those scripts look like they would do what i want (or could be made to do what i want). however, they are FAR more complex than what i was looking for—i’m not saying they are more complex than they need to be, just more complex than i wanted.

i will probably abandon my desire for an applescript solution and write a small app that will do what i want.

ken

ps. to describe what i really want: i currently use now up-to-date and i have a script that runs once a day that mines now up-to-date and sends me an email telling me whats on tap for today and the next seven days. thus, whenever i start my day, i have an email waiting for me telling me of whats sceduled.

…. but repeating events have a start date that is the first date
that the event occured/was to occur. e.g., an event that occurs for the
first time on 3/8/11 and repeats weekly will have a start date (and an end
date) of 3/8/11. it will occur on 3/15/11 (etc.), but i don’t see how to
determine that with applescript. it could be determined (not so trivially)
via programming by parsing and computing using the recurring field of the
event. but i’d rather not have to write a program to do this.

I've just updated my own efforts in this regard. The fully comprehensive
one is here:

Or the initial attempt may suit you better. It's faster and is only
accurate to the day, not to the exact time. But it's only good with
events created in the local time zone and where none of the repeats have
been deleted or modified:
