Thanks, everyone. I think understand. When a file is created and not saved, BBEdit "saves" it internally, but no "creation date" is permanently linked to the file. The file's text is saved to: ~/Library/BBEdit/Auto-Save Recovery/Data/<uuid>.txt , and the date on the file is current, but apparently, only until the next Reboot or Shut Down.
In my case the file in question was created some time earlier this spring, but the creation & modification dates are June 7, which is the last time I quit BBEdit and Rebooted or Shut Down (can't remember which) my laptop. thanks for the script, Chris. I ran it and got the same June 7 date as Finder gave.
