I knew I had an uneasy feeling about this.  The 12:30a => 00:30 has
convinced me it's a bad idea.

If you really want to use 12-hour times for PM, you can fake it:

fset pm(time) iif(time<12:00, time+720, time)
fset am(time) iif(time>=12:00, time-720, time)

REM AT [pm(1:00)] MSG 1pm
REM AT [pm(12:30)] MSG 12:30pm
REM AT [am(12:30)] MSG 12:30am

etc...

So: This feature will not be added to Remind.

Regards,

David.
