I belive that your problem is conceptual not syntactical. You are trying to
set the value of a constant. Try modifying the variable.
Not tested at this point in time. But in the future I built and
distributed this as a handler. You'll recall this years from now.
--begin script
set yesterday to (current time)
set tomorrow to (current time)
set today to (current time)--dont forget this one, or you
