Understanding the Convert Command

[Gregory Lypny]

Hello Ken and Mister X,

I'm pretty sure the date and time settings in OS X are correct.  I'm 
set for Montreal (EST), and both date and time are updated 
automatically over the Internet (Apple Americas).  However, a daylight 
savings time problem would explain the problem I'm seeing since we are 
now in standard time.  It seems as if the Convert command is drawing on 
some system information that is telling it to use daylight savings 
time, which is pushing the result one hour ahead.  There is no System 
Preference setting that I can find that enables or disables daylight 
savings time; I believe that is automatic in Macs based on the location 
(e.g., Saskatchewan is on standard time year round) and time zone 
information.  Sigh...
