[Gambas-user] CDate Documentation

[Jussi Lahtinen]

This is related to what I have tried to explain several times. The date
datatype does not contain timezone information, UTC is always used
internally and what is shown is adjusted according to the currently used
timezone. Thus you can't get correct results like that. It does not work
like a paper calendar.
