Subject: bug#54210: 27.1; appt-add checks for bad data only at end

appt-add asks the user for three parameters:
- time (a time string)
- message (a string)
- minutes (a number)

if the time string is badly formatted (for example if it is "8" rather than "8.00") appt-add barfs.  That's ok, but it barfs only after all three parameters have been read.  It should barf immediately after submitting the wrong parameter.

Maybe I'll find the time to look at it and propose a patch, but since I don't know, I prefer reporting it now.
