Mr. Berkowitz> You left out 'date' before your short date string, so it hasn't compiled as

Uhm, guys?  What's with all the harsh?  How about just answering people's questions and trying to help them learn, instead of accusing them of sloppy thinking or telling them what they can and can't do?  

I mean, I thought the point of the list was to help people learn to use AppleScript, or learn to use it better, and that includes total newbies.  Was I wrong?
