[1] - yes, I get a valid date: 2004,6,1,2,0,0,3
[2] - Saturday is the last line of system weekDayNames although I have heard that this is not always the case in Australian systems.
But, you can always identify weekends using the last item of the dateItems structure. In the example above, the last item is 3, which means Tuesday. (Sunday = 1, Monday = 2 etc.)

Two date questions...
I am trying to manipulate locale-independent dates by using dateItems, system weekdayNames and system monthNames. As I only have an English-based system, could any non-English system users help me out?

on mouseUp
put line 6 of the abbrev system monthNames into tMth # or pick a number 1-12
get (tMth & " 1, 2004") # or pick a year
convert it to dateItems

[2] Weekends...
I understand it is dangerous to assume that line 7 of the system weekdayNames always refers to a Saturday and line 1 always refers to a Sunday.
If this is the case, how do we reliably identify weekend dates?
