I reported the same problem when using "Find by Date" feature of the
"Find" applet. You can pick the century in the picker but when it
actually performs the search it uses the current century. Then, the
next time you open the date picker you can see the date has reverted
to the current century. The only workaround is to set the Newton
system date back to a 20th century date.
Big annoyance. I hope one of our fine developers will become as
annoyed with this as I am and develop a fix! ;-)
