Simpler than that:
on mouseUp
put "Mon, 29 Jul 2024 15:49:52 -0400" into tDateTime
put word -1 of tDateTime into tOffset
-- delete last word of tDateTime
convert tDateTime to seconds
put (tOffset / 100) *60 *60 into tOffset
add tOffset to tDateTime
convert tDateTime to long date and long time
put tDateTime
end mouseUp
