Hi Aram,

You're assumption is entirely correct. My whole goal is to allow
editing of To Do items without having to have iCal open.
I looked into the solution you've suggested but a side effect now is
that even if my applescript asks iCal to save the file to disk, it
won't immediately. This means that my program can't re-parse the
calendar and show the changes immediately.
I just wish there was a way to have iCal reload itself, without
having to have it relaunched.
As far as I know, there is currently no way to tell iCal to refresh
itself. There's also no way (short of quitting iCal) to tell iCal to
write changes to the .ics files on disk.
If you don't need to support pre-10.4 users, I would highly recommend
using Sync Services to change the to-do items:
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/SyncServices>
You register your application with Sync Services as being
"interested" in to-do items, and then Sync Services provides methods
of fetching, changing, and creating to dos, all without needing to
parse or write the raw iCalendar file format.
However, it occurs to me that even then, iCal might not sync with
Sync Services immediately. Has someone else synced iCal events or to
dos?
