Re: st: Time labels

Danielle--
Note that mofd(dofm(.)) is an identity operator in that case, i.e.
a is rightly %tm --> mofd(dofm(a)) = a for all a.

But other possibilities may be useful, e.g. extracting first day in month:
di %d 4000
di %d dofm(mofd(4000))

My post was simply to highlight the use of -local- with the -display-
extended function; see -help extended_fcn- for more.
