True.  FYI, the RunRev List has requested that Metacard, at a minimum,
include the capability to return the Control Panel date/time format to the
scriptor so that stack date display can conform to the user's preferences.
So far as I know, Scott is persuing this along with other requests from
RunRev.

talking about.

Best to display the date as the user has asked to have it displayed in the
Control Panel settings, when Metacard provides that capability.  Until
then, second best is a Date Format substack where the user can duplicate
the Control Panel Date/Time settings.
