The "weekday" function does this and is in 3.0.x and later.. For example

[n,s] = weekday("3-Jun-2009")

returns 4 and Weds, which with Sunday=1  makes sense. The weekday 
function can take the date in any formqt supported by datevec called 
with a single qrgument. For example

[n,s] = weekday("06/03/09")

is the same as above
