I went through the code: it's an absolute time and it represents one minute
past midnight of the next day (my original "00:01" was one minute past midnight
of the current day, i.e. some time in the past).

Still not clear about this though. I'll see what happens at midnight tonight.

PS. BTW, I was just looking through Bernt's document and saw that in my earlier
mail, I missed the activation of appointments:

(appt-activate 1)

So that's one more thing for the OP to add to his .emacs.
