He'll need the date too.

set todaysDate to (current date)
set {d, m, y} to {day, month, year} of todaysDate
set monthList to {January, February, March, April, May, ,
June, July, August, September, October, November, ,
December}
repeat with i from 1 to 12
if m = (item i of monthList) then
set monthString to text -2 thru -1 of ("0" & i)
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
set dayString to text -2 thru -1 of ("0" & d)
set todaysDate to dayString & "-" & monthString & "-" & y

Hopefully, there's a simple answer to a basic question: How do I create a new folder in MacOS X with AS? Say I'm user filemak, and I want to create the folder "Backup 8-01-02" on my desktop. I tried:
make new folder at "Data:Users:filemak:Desktop:Backup 8-01-02"
