Okay, I'm confused.  I have been looking and looking, but I cannot  
find any documentation on how or when to use hooks.php -- and after  
what you said, I'm not sure it is even appropriate here.  I'm getting  
the sense that my last benefactor did not understand what I'm trying  
to do, and inadvertently sent me down the wrong path.

All I want to do is get kronolith to parse all the addressbooks each  
user has access to.  They are all localsql addressbooks.  As it is  
now, it only parses the default, primary addressbook for the user.  
Therefore, everyone's free-busy info in a secondary or shared  
addressbook is not accessible to kronolith when inviting attendees  
(and auto completion doesn't work for them either).

On the preferences page ("options" in kronolith), under "Free/Busy  
Information", I have all of the addressbooks highlighted under "Choose  
the calendars to include in the above Free/Busy URL:".  I thought this  
would accomplish what I want -- but it isn't.  So I was easily  
persuaded that the hooks.php and prefs.local.php config files were my  
ticket.  Again, now I'm thinking I went down the wrong path, as it  
seems that is really for drawing in addressbooks from backend sources  
other than localsql...

Please don't let my confusion infect you.  All I want to do is what I  
stated two paragraphs above this one.  If you could advise me on how  
to do this, I would be very grateful.

-Thank you.
