Dates?

One way:

function getFormattedDate
  put the date into tDate
  put char -4 to -1 of last item of the long date into tYear
  set itemDel to "/"
  put tYear into last item of tDate
  set numberFormat to 00
  add 0 to item 1 of tDate
  add 0 to item 2 of tDate
  return tDate
end getFormattedDate

I wonder if this will turn into another programming showdown... :-)
