Hmmmm.  That's pretty much what I have and it works fine here.  Try
placing an ampersand ('&') after the call to ical; so that the line looks
as follows:
Exec "I" ical &

And, just where is your autoexec file?  (And, by any chance, is it named
Autoexec?  [The initial 'a' should not be upper case.])  It should be in
~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/autoexec.

Hope that helps somehow.
