AFAICT, AppleScript date/time values have no concept of time zone. Midnight on Jan 1, 1904 is time 0. You can choose to interpret that as UTC, but AppleScript won't help you out - for instance, at that same instant in time that you call 0, a Mac in New York would report time value -200.

No, no it wouldn't. That's completely the wrong number. -300 is what I meant to type, but I was thinking minutes instead of seconds. -18000 would be correct...

Must get new fingers. Maybe a new brain, too.
