Default Adding days to a date cell to get a new date

If you click on A2, hit the '=' key, click on cell A1, then type '+5'...what
happens?

Hi, this may sound simple, but I can't seem to figure it out.

In cell A1 (a date cell) I'll enter a date.

I want to set A2 (also a date cell) to A1 + 5 days.

I've played with datevalue and some other Fn's but just can't seem to get
it.

Anyone have the magic answer? What am I missing?
