Newton Connection Kit for Windows: Missing AM/PM

When I open my Newton Connection Kit for Windows and edit my connection files, calendar items do not show up with the proper AM or PM designations.

Also, if I add an item to the calendar and type either AM or PM next to the time, the designation disappears when I close the item.

Why does this happen?

This situation is caused by the setup of the Connection Kit's time display formats. To display the time in standard 12 hour format with AM/PM designations, follow these steps:

1) Open the Windows Control Panel, then open the International Control Panel.
2) Select Change from the Time Format section of the control panel. This will display the Time Format dialog box.
3) Click 12 hour in the dialog box.
4) Enter AM next to the sample time 00:00-11:59 and enter PM next to the sample time 12:00-23:59 by clicking the up and down arrows next to the sample times.
5) Close the dialog box and control panels.

The connection files will now display the time with AM/PM designations.
