Poof!  I'm over here, using news in a guest account on a friend's machine
because Usenet news hasn't been getting in or out of Interbase for several
days.  I hope this is the only response to my query so far;  otherwise,
I've missed some.

I'm lost.  What do you mean by "label window" and "strip"?
My xcal window looks like this:

In the meantime, thanks for the hints.
