You can get their preferred format by either setting the usesystemdate 
to true and then getting a date or time, or just by getting "the system 
date". Then all the LiveCode date formats will reflect the user 
preference. For the abbrev date, where the month is not fully expanded, 
a quick lookup in the monthnames would fix that. Just replace the 
abbreviated month name with the expanded one.
