In cases like this, it's always a good idea to post the *actual code*
that you use here, rather then trying to describe the code in prose.

I just tested the following:

sequence now
now = date()

It runs fine of course, using the DOS and the Windows Euphoria 2.4
interpreter. Maybe you wrote 'now = date' instead of 'now = date()'?
