Reviving an old topic, it just hit me!

The only time I have to worry about converting TZ is when I'm entering
a date & time into the calendar.

Would it be possible for the calendar / date prompt to convert from
one TZ to the current?

ie: Wed 09:00 EST would automatically convert to Wed 08:00 (implied
CST, where I am).

Perhaps this is an easier fix.

Thanks.
