Steve,

Try this...

on mouseUp
  put <beginning_date> into theStart
  put <ending_date> into theStop
  convert theStart to seconds
  convert theStop to seconds
  set the numberFormat to 0.00
  put (theStop-theStart) into theDif
  put (theDif/60)/60 into theHrs
  put (theHrs/24) into theDays
  answer theStop&"-"&theStart&"="&theDif&RETURN&theHrs&&"Hours"
&RETURN&theDays&&"Days"
end mouseUp
