 I think I have learned how to get any part of a date but can't figure
 out how to go back.


You left out 'date' before your short date string, so it hasn't compiled as
a date. You can't use a string. You can't really do AppleScript at all
without knowing that.

set EventStartDate to date "10/20/05"
set EventEndDate to (EventStartDate) + 3600
EventEndDate
--> date "Thursday, October 20, 2005 1:00:00 AM"

I appreciate all of the helpful answers I received.

But no one noticed that I had tried "date of" rather that "date" as implied by the subject line.

So much for English like language.

Thanks all,
