Here's a random example which doesn't support just LookOut: http://www.pace.com/universal/investors/financial-calendar/ I don't use agendas at all, so I haven't tried it, but I expect it'll add a reminder or alarm to an agenda without launching the whole PIM and/or some file import.dialog. It seems to be "modern" to offer such a downloadable reminder, but I'm not sure about that. I guess the browser must recognize the file type and start some small EXE or script to import it unattended. --
