You have a notification waiting about an invitation to an event. On the bottom left of the ical window, you will see an icon that looks like an envelope. Click that icon and a little pane will open right above called "notifications." You will then see the invitation. Click on the invitation for details and accept or decline. Norm --- Norman A.
