STEP ELEVEN (Setting a Specific Event Time)

This works for hour durations as well (rather than just days), so double-click in the white space on the 23^rd and add this event: "Lunch meeting at 12:30 at Applebee's." In the Info pane on the right, click once on the From time and type "12" for the hour, press Return, and type "30" for the minutes. Then, click once on the To time and type "3" for the hour, press Return, and type "00" for the minutes (hey, you're the bosstake a long lunch). Now click on the Day button at the bottom of the iCal window, and you can see how this appointment extends from 12:30 to 3 p.m., which helps you not to schedule anything else during that block of time.
