Using applescript to get iCal to open a file
I'm trying to use AppleScript to get iCal to open a Word doc at a specified date/time.
As a complete novice to AppleScript, I'm sure I have misunderstood how the syntax and grammar of the language work. Would you please advise me how to change this script --
set filepath to POSIX path of "Microsoft Word:Users:mtmanner:Documents:Family JY & Friends:Craig:Craigs Goals:Socializing:Being with people.doc"
try
set command to "open Users/mtmanner/Documents/Family JY & Friends:Craig/Craigs Goals/Socializing/Being with people.doc"
do shell scriptcommand
end try
Thanks for your help.
