You aren't quite clear; do you just need the reverse order and the 4
digit year, or do you *explicitly* need dashes as the delimiters?

If the former, just assign it into an MMDY/ type dummy.

If you need the dashes, too, you'll have to do a second assignment,
into something that changes slashes into dashes, like

[ { ! "/" ! < "-" > close-curly close-square

(broken keyboard)

Did I get that right, Ken?
