EASY way to add n days to a date?

[zryip theSlug]

A conversion function really handy!

Not totally in the subject:
An easy trick to know the end date of one month without creating
complex script to test the number of days in the months, years
leap, etc..
Take the first date of the month, then add one month and substract one
day, like this :

on mouseUp
   put "12/01/2009" into lMyDate
   answer addToDate(lMyDate,0,1,-1)
end mouseUp

function addToDate pStartDate,pAddToYear,pAddToMonth,pAddToDay
   convert pStartDate to dateitems
   add pAddToYear to item 1 of pStartDate
   add pAddToMonth to item 2 of pStartDate
   add pAddToDay to item 3 of pStartDate
   convert pStartDate to short date
   return pStartDate
end addToDate
