Hi Klaus,

Same here.

Here is the code I'm using for dealing with:

function weekDayNamesList pFirstDayIsMonday
    local tWeekdayNames

    put the abbr system weekdayNames into tWeekdayNames
    if pFirstDayIsMonday then
          put cr & line 1 of tWeekdayNames after tWeekdayNames
          delete line 1 of tWeekdayNames
    end if

    return tWeekDayNames
end weekDayNamesList
