Am I the only one here who didn't realize VBScript supported Date Literals?

God forbid the WSH documentation included this little tidbit....

Ehh...it's a hold over from VB syntax, but I've always preferred explicit date functions because it makes it more obvious what you are trying to do. I agree that the docs are lacking on it.

I think there are others who weren't aware....actually I've seen people use them in scripts and then ask if it was possible....the documentation briefly shows/mentions it as part of some other function
