I found that this code works quite well, and quite fast:
set theMonth to text 1 through 3 of (month of (current date) as text)
set allTheMonths to "JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec"
set monthInteger to ((offset of theMonth in allTheMonths) + 2) div 3
And it's about the shortest code to type for this evaluation. In fact,
it can be shortened to the following, if you like:
set allTheMonths to "JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec"
set monthInteger to ((offset of (text 1 through 3 of (month of (current
date) as text)) in allTheMonths) + 2) div 3
(watch for mailer-induced line breaks in the above)
