Paul,
My set up for short date is day/month/year, showing leading zero for day,
showing leading zero for month, showing century, with separator "/".
I'm also new to unix, my observation is that all these options are not
affected by the user setting.
do shell script "date +D%" --"03/13/02", or
do shell script "date +%x" --"03/13/02"
Both options simply ignore my short date setting.
Bye
Bill :(
