[NMUG] no lines in iCal

[Robbie Murray]

You can always drag the preference file out of the preferences without  
trashing it - simply leave on the desktop and it will create a new one  
when restarted, using the defaults.

if you don't like what you see, just drag the old one back into the  
folder and overwrite the newer ....

com.apple.iCal.plist


Or, of course, create a new user and login with that to see what  
happens .....

Hello Robbie

Thanks for e-mail.

First forget about Preview which I only mentioned as being the means I  
viewed the ICal screen (picture) I was sent.

I am using, in Univ. Access, Black on white with a fairly enhanced  
contrast.

Your advice appreciated.
