how do I get ical to open when my computer turns on?

Hello.

Do the following:

(1) Click on the "Apple" menu (top left corner of your screen).  
(2) Select "System Preferences."
(3) From under the heading "personal," click on the "Login Items" icon.
(4) When the Login Items window opens, click on the "Add" button.
(5) Find "iCal" (probably located in your "Applications" folder) and select it.
(6) Click the blue "Add" button.
(7) Close the "Login Items" window.

That's it.   This method will word for setting up any application to
launch when you start up.

---------
search strategy:
I'm a Mac user, so I was already somewhat familiar with the procedure.

The same method is mentioned on this web page:

"...place the application in your Log-In Items window in the OS X
System Preferences to have the program automatically launch when you
boot up your system."

I hope this helps. If you have any problems, please let me know via
the "request clarification" feature. Thanks.

Sorry for that typo above:

" This method will WORK for setting up..."

Thank you.  I asked some of my mac using friends at the same time and
got an answer faster than I expected.  I should be less impatient. 
Thank you for your time!
