Axel,
The best answer to your questions is this script was created in
January of 2004.
With all the current knowledge I almost have I think I'll try
rewriting it.

Hi,
Going through my scripts in Snow Leopard I ran into one that is
being stubborn;
set WakeUpTime to "6:01"
[...]
set nowTime to (current date)
set wakeTime to date (date string of nowTime & ":" & WakeUpTime) --
NOTE use of ":"
[...]
Hello Robert,
Tried here under 10.5.8, and the box indeed didn't complain; it even
yielded a somewhat consistent result.
I thus woke up my 7.6.1 system, with AppleScript 1.1; and yes, it
didn't choke too.
But does this prove that SLeopard does things wrong?
After all, one is building such a string
dimanche 6 septembre 2009:6:01
and then ask to parse that string as a valid date representation;
but, at the very least, it contains a very strange mix of time units.
Looking back at the ASU for 1.3.7, the numerous examples provided
for textual date representation never show such a combination.
So, the question that first comes to the mind is: why didn't you
make use of " " instead of ":" in the above concatenation? Wouldn't
it have been more kosher?
The second question being thus: what gives
date (date string of nowTime & " " & WakeUpTime)
under SLeopard?
