Uuuups... too many hours sitting in front of my computer... :-) _Sorry_!

In fact, it works! The two important fields in the appointment objects (as you 
said in [1]) are:

- type, in which you have to specify the type of interval: daily, weekly,...
- cycleEndDate, which is obvious ;-)

Ok, but I have two questions:

- It seems that you can't change the interval of a created cycle, can you?

- From the web ui, when you have a cycle you have two new options: "save all" 
and "delete all" to have them all saved or deleted. But what happens when you 
want to modify or delete every appointment of a cycle using XMLRPC? Do you 
have to do it individually or can it be done accessing to the cycle globally?

What do you mean? I can't understand you.

Thanks, Helge!
