Interesting things..
Anyway, my problem is solved. I like to have several options to filter
and call commands, not only direct referrals, because it turns handy
in a lot of manipulator operations.

What part of the above is a bug ?
'time string' gives you the time as a piece of text
'words of x' gives you a list of the words of a piece of text
that's what I see above. By the way, the actual string that's returned in
the string are influenced by what international settings you've chosen.
It's not a very good way to get the details of a date, it would be better
to get the value of the date and use date-related maths to do things with
it: seconds of theDate, month of theDate, etc..

Simon,
I have to agree with Michelle here. If you are seeing date info (as
above) in the result from
words of time string of (current date)
it's a bug. Regardless of the settings of the International Pref Pane,
"time string" should only return time info, "date string" should only
return date info. There's no way the format settings should change the
content of what is returned, it's only supposed to change the display
format.
For example, this script
log words of time string of (current date)
log words of date string of (current date)
returns the following in SD4 with my U.S. format settings (MacOS X
10.5.4) and the results are as expected.
-- started
current date
--> date "Saturday, July 26, 2008 8:14:21 AM"
(*8, 14, 21, AM*)
current date
--> date "Saturday, July 26, 2008 8:14:21 AM"
(*Saturday, July, 26, 2008*)
-- stopped >> Stay informed about: Problems with colons ':' |

How did you do that ? In International->Format, I have separate sections
for "Dates" and "Times" and I don't see a way to enter a date field in
the second one.

It's the same modification, simply before Tiger you could not enter
format strings in the International preferences and you were restricted
to selecting the value for each position for a popup menus. Hence, it
was impossible to use date fields for the time string from the GUI.
But the menu bar clock in 10.3.9 does follow the settings from the
International preferences pane.
