:-)   Without looking at the docs, in what format does the 'FormatDateTime' 
function return the result when you call it with the value 2 as the second 
argument ?


And have you ever programmed in DOS ?    It uses "int" as the entry point 
for all system functions, using an index for a certain group followed by a 
sub-index for the actual function (and sometimes a few more indices too).

Apart from a few you became to know by heart (because every program you 
wrote used them) you /always/ needed a "cheat sheet" to figure out the 
needed indices for the functions you didn't use all that often.

I have absolutily /no/ desire to re-implement such a system in VBScript too. 
Sorry.
