Leaving the corral for a moment:

I find appt-display-format in emacs manual with index search.  One hit
only...but looking for further descriptions with 
`M-x apropos appt-display-format 
  or 
`C-h v appt-display-format'

shows no-match.. perhaps I need to have some specific package loaded?

Further the emacs manual at `39.11 Appointments':

Doesn't contain enough information for me to figure out how to do
this.  I say `for me', that is, it may have plenty enough info for
someone more knowledgeable.
