Hi Drew.

I'm having a much more fundamental problem.

I can't execute stuff after an event has happened. 

I wrote a function using the `(when (calendar-cursor-to-date) ...)` function that at first I
sincerely hoped will execute the `...` part when
`(calendar-cussor-to-date)` was finished executing but I wasn't so
lucky. Here is my program:

  (defun insert-new-entry ()
     (interactive)
     (save-excursion
        (goto-char (point-max))
        (print "Asti")
        (define-key calendar-mode-map (kbd "RET") 'get-date)
        (calendar)
        (when (calendar-cursor-to-date)
          (let ((x (calendar-cursor-to-date)))
            (select-window (get-buffer-window "asti" t))

            (insert format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d" x)))))


  (defun get-date ()
    (interactive)
     calendar-cursor-to-date)

How do I execute this part AFTER the user has pressed "RET":


  (let ((x (calendar-cursor-to-date))) <------ execute after "RET"
    (select-window (get-buffer-window "asti" t))
    (insert format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d" x)))))


This is just such a totally basic thing to want to do that I'm in
despair for not being able to do it very simply.

Can you please help me in achieving this? Setting `x` to be
`(calendar-cursor-to-date)` when "RET" has been pressed?


Thanks

P.S. If you decide to test the prog out, please create the buffer "asti"
first by pressing "C-x 4 b asti"
