Time

[Mike C. Fletcher]

Um, actually, you probably want:

datePlus5 = day + RelativeDateTime( days = 5 )

(Note the 's'), without it, you find "day = 5", that is, the 5th of the 
month.

For simple stuff like file-date manipulation, GoldFish can probably just 
use the time module and not need the extra package download.

t = t - (60.0*60*24*5)

Not accurate when Daylight Savings Time switches over, or leap-seconds 
occur, but likely gets the job done for a beginner's web-site scripting.

Enjoy,
Mike
