Hi Frans,

In the absence of anything better, I'd get the weekday by converting
the date returned to Julian, then take its modulo 7 ($jday % 7).

Like this:

	wd0 = 'Monday'
	wd1 = 'Tuesday'
	wd2 = 'Wednesday'
	wd3 = 'Thursday'
	wd4 = 'Friday'
	wd5 = 'Saturday'
	wd6 = 'Sunday'

	date = "23/7/2010"  // <-- e.g. from xCalendar

	Extract date JULIAN jday
	wday = $($jday % 7)

	say ' date = $date : weekday = $wday ($wd$wday)'


// date = 23/7/2010 : weekday = 4 (Friday)


Hope that helps,

Dave
