Is there a dot-syntax way of getting the year, month, and day? I can get
it by parsing _system.date(), but the year/month/day order depends on
the system's country settings.

put (the systemDate).day
put (the systemDate).month
put (the systemDate).year

Also, is there a way to get the time in 24-hour format? i.e., 17:05:32
instead of 5:05:32 pm?

-- with some trimming (leading/trailing whitespace, fractional seconds):
put framesToHMS( (the systemDate).seconds, 1, 0, 0 )

"the systemDate" seems to be another of the omissions in the current round of docs but remains *much* more useful than most of the other date/time format offerings.

Cheers,
-Sean.
