...as follows:

Process("Finder").SendAE "core,getd,'----':obj {form:name, 
want:type(ldt ), seld:Ò22-Feb-2007Ó...



On the other hand there is no problem with this:

         tell application "Finder"
           set _date to "22-Feb-2007"
           run script "date (\"" & _date & "\")"
         end tell

Process("Finder").SendAE "syso,dsct,'----':Òdate ("22-Feb-2007")Ó...
