How to Use the JCal Pro Calendar Module

The JCal Pro Calendar is a module to display a mini calendar for JCal Pro. It looks like a small traditional calendar.  

Days with events occurring are highlighted links using the page's CSS style.  Clicking the mini calendar dates leads directly to the event, while the full calendar link appears below it if enabled.
