@Wanderer: Hmmm, strange... This setting *does* seem to work in my configuration. I've replaced all instances of "Gig Calendar" with "Events", so the code in my installation now looks like this:
$Panel->AddList('Events', 90);
Note the "90" - I've played around with it, so that it now appears where I want it to.
The extension does not work with the new extension update-checker in version 1.1.x. Checking the default.php file, I see that the extension there is named differently from the entry in the add-ons site, and that the version in the file (1.0) is also incorrect (in the add-ons repository it states that this - the current - version is 1.1).
So, although I'm not the original author, I've renamed everything, and added a couple of corrections, as specified in this discussion, and here is my own version of 'default.php', which seems to work just fine. Perhaps the author could update it for us in the add-ons repository, if everyone else checks that this works without too much problem in their own systems:

ok i understand and it works now but i found a bug . this mod conflicts with preview mod. when try to preview it says "Warning: fopen(extensions/Calendar/cal.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/hebele/public_html/hebel/extensions/Calendar/default.php on line 26 fsfdfs"
@blizeh: I noticed that I was getting the same error reported by abramelin when previewing a post. I followed the link placed above by Wanderer, and corrected line 26 of default.php. It corrects the problem. To make it easier for you:
Can anyone please recommend me a tutorial to either: a) Let me completely edit the .txt file through PHP b) Let me add separate fields through the csv stuff, delete rows and edit rows
Thanks
( fwiw, yeah I've been looking on Google for ages and for some reason can't find anything useful )
You cant really edit the text file per se, what you need to do is read it into an array/variable while editing the necessary parts as you go along, then overwrite that variable content back to the file.
Does the code above this look like? $fp = fopen($Configuration['APPLICATION_PATH'].'/extensions/Gigs/cal.txt', 'rb'); // Reads the text file
if(!$fp) return;
while ($row = fgetcsv($fp, 1000))
{
Each item should be separated with a comma. There is no need for quotation marks. This is what mine looks like:

the "fsfdfs" part is my comment text

Line 26 right now is:
$fp = fopen('extensions/Calendar/cal.txt', 'rb');It should be changed to:
$fp = fopen($Configuration['APPLICATION_PATH'].'extensions/Calendar/cal.txt', 'rb');Any ideas?
a) Let me completely edit the .txt file through PHP
b) Let me add separate fields through the csv stuff, delete rows and edit rows

the line looks like
list($title, $date, $venue, $url) = $row;
any ideas on how to fix this?
$fp = fopen($Configuration['APPLICATION_PATH'].'/extensions/Gigs/cal.txt', 'rb'); // Reads the text file if(!$fp) return; while ($row = fgetcsv($fp, 1000)) {$fp = fopen('extensions/Calendar/cal.txt', 'rb'); // Reads the text file
