The date format is controlled not by FullWrite but by the system.  There is a 
resource in the System file that must be changed with ResEdit; I think the 
resource is type "itl1".  There are a variety of possible changes to make to it 
(which parts are printed, which order, etc.), which are all documented in the 
internationalization section of Inside Macintosh volume 5 (plus possibly some 
in vol 1 or 2).
