In my own efforts to replace parseDate(), I've used the convention that when I enter a single integer and hit return, it assumes I mean that day of the current month and generates that complete date for me. The date ordering accords with the setting of the current preferences. An extension of this, that I use almost every day in an accounting application, allows me to add either a '+' or a '-' and get the month following or the month preceding the present month. So; 10 return produces 10 May 2007 10- return produces 10 April 2007 10+ return produces 10 June 2007 It's tempting to go further, but probably unwise!
