Similar to Bob's but includes the delimiters:
-- create UTC timestamp: -- format: "2013-07-20T00:00:00Z"
put the seconds into tTime
convert tTime to dateitems
subtract (char 1 to -3 of last word of the internet date) from item 4 of
tTime
convert tTime to dateitems
set the numberformat to "00"
put item 1 of tTime &"-"& (item 2 of tTime)+0 &"-"& (item 3 of tTime)+0 &
"T" & (item 4 of tTime)+0 &":"& \
(item 5 of tTime)+0 &":"& (item 6 of tTime)+0 & "Z" into tTimestamp

Follow up question/request:
put the internet date into tTimestamp -- stores something like Mon, 29
Jul 2024 16:49:52 -0400, where the -0400 is the time zone offset
Anyone have some already written code to convert this to a time in GMT
(i.e where the time zone offset is +0000, i.e. Mon, 29 Jul 2024 20:49:52
+0000)?
It is adding the offset to the hours and minutes, but you have to handle
carry over, potentially adding or subtracting a day.
If the best approach converting to seconds and the doing the math and
converting back? (I think this is the answer)
