Because of the "overflow" phenomenon when one date property is too large
for another, if the current date happens to be the 31st of the month, the
above script will create a date in March. The best solution seems to be
to set the day to a number below 29 first (to avoid the overflow), then
set the year and the month (to establish any leap year conditions), and
finally set the day and the time.

  set d to (current date)
  set day of d to 1
  set year of d to 2007
  set month of d to February
  set day of d to 6
  set time of d to (10 * hours)

Or, as kai might have it:

  tell (current date) to set {day, year, its month, day, time, d} to {1,
2007, February, 6, 10 * hours, it}
