SetEntryAlarm Does Not Handle Events (2/6/96)

Q: I tried to set the alarm of an event using the SetEntryAlarm calendar message, but the alarm is not set.

A: It turns out that SetEntryAlarm will not find events. You need to use a new Calendar API called SetEventAlarm. This function is provided in the Newton 2.0 Platform File. See the Platform File Notes for more information.
