the DATE  shell script  where the syntax is explained:

however  the month !     &m  gives my   02   but what is the code to
ditch any zero in front ?

There isn't one (that's Unix for you). See man strftime for the available codes. For friendlier date formatting you might try AppleMods' Date library <http://applemods.sourceforge.net>; for example (auto-generated library loading code omitted for clarity):

	set fmt to _Date's makeFormatter("m/d/yy h:MM:SS tt")
	fmt's currentDate()
	--> "2/24/05 6:25:07 pm"
