To go to a date that falls within a few months of the current date:
1. Click the triangles in the mini-month list to see a few months ahead.
2. Click the date in the mini-month.
To go to any date, particularly those that are more than a few months away, follow these steps:
1. Choose New Event from the File menu.
2. Change the year or month in the "from" field to the year or month you want to go to using the arrows.
The iCal window displays that year or month. From here, you can choose any day in that month from the mini-month calendar on the left.
