Why not the names Eddie suggested, they're shorter, and for many folks, easy to recall from years of using same?

Well, DATE+ has to change since we early on it was established not to allow basic mathematical operators in command names (is it DATE + or DATE+). I suspect that might also prove problematic in the parser/evaluator.

DDAYS is more cryptic then DELTADAYS, or even ΔDAYS for non-HP traditionalists and non English speakers. I don't have strong feelings about it however.

DAYOFWEEK I think would be nicer as DATEDAY because that would group it nicely with the other two.

So I guess - how do people feel about DDAYS, DATEADD, DATEDAY?
