That is effectively what I do in

I don't do Magyar. ;)

I feel I should be able to do
Private Const vKillET as date = sommething.

I do that partially with

Why would you "cast" now?
?typename(now)
Date
?typename(timevalue(now))
Date

I must concede I am overloading killtime as both a value and a flag.
Slightly insanitary. ;)

How do I turn green cell north west corners into text?
