Title: Re: More date/time stuff
We've been through this a hundred times. You can't set a list of properties of some object to a list of anything (text items, number items, application object items), although you can of course get a list of properties. You can, however, tell it to do so:
set today to current date
tell today
set {hours, minutes, seconds} to {0, 0, 0}
end tell
--> {0, 0, 0}
The one-liner
tell today to set {hours, minutes, seconds} to {0, 0, 0}
works just as well. (In a situation where 'its' is needed, it's needed before each property, not the list.)

I get the same result on Tiger.
This also works:
set today to current date
set {hours of today, minutes of today, seconds of today} to {0, 0, 0}

This doesn't:
set today to current date
set {hours, minutes, seconds} of today to {0, 0, 0}
--> error "Can’t set {hours of date \"Thursday, November 19, 2009 9:56:47 AM\", minutes of date \"Thursday, November 19, 2009 9:56:47 AM\", seconds of date \"Thursday, November 19, 2009 9:56:47 AM\"} to {0, 0, 0}.
