So all your CSS tweaks should go into the very last CSS file that is<br>
called. Calendar css would be found in the calendar module. But all<br>
module CSS is called before your theme css, and you don't want to hack<br>
the calendar module. In your theme, go to its .info file and see the<br>
order of the css files called and find the last one (it's typically<br>
style.css or local.css). Put your changes in there. Clearing cache is<br>
always a good thing.<br>

I'll look in .info, had not thought of that, thanks.<br>
<br>
My observations/tests so far.<br>
--Clearing Cache does not clear the files in /default/files/css.<br>
--I do not know where to look for discussion on this /default/files/css<br>
and the erasing of files therein. Do they regenerate with modified css<br>
code if erased?<br>
--It seems that the css in /default/files/css is th last called,<br>
according to firebug.<br>
--css in this file overrides the css elsewhere in some but not in all cases.<br>
--Altering css code in these files has no effect on the display.<br>
--Altering css in the calendar module has no effect on the display while<br>
the /default/files/css is present.<br>
--Altering the css in /files/css with firebug changes the display but<br>
making the same alteration the file does not.<br>
--None of the above seems to apply with other modules and themes.<br>
<br>
More testing<br>
Thanks to all who help<br>
