I need to convert a Java date -- expressed in milliseconds since Jan. 1, 1970 -- to a more readable format (e.g. April 18, 2005 16:53:00).

I though I could use Javascript as follows:

 // JavaScript syntax
function convDate(ms) {
  put(Date(ms));
}

However, typing this in the message window...
convDate(1113847653189)

produces this...
// Mon Apr 18 2005 16:55:13 GMT-0700

...which is the current time, not the time indicated by the integer passed in the argument above.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Tom
