I'm on the US west coast, so the local time (in parentheses)

Can someone explain why this happens?
That's working as intended, per mh-format(5):
zone date integer timezone in minutes
Try this:
tzone date string timezone string
Ah, okay, that works! My man page is for the older NMH 1.5,
and says something critically different at this point:
zone date integer timezone in hours
tzone date string timezone string
Based on what "zone" was stated to return, and influenced by
the thread's discussion, I had assumed that "tzone" would
return a symbolic timezone name.
Thanks!
