Chris, I once had a script around, that did just what you want. I'll try and
see if I can dig it up, and send it to you offlist.

Hi. As I said in another message, I'm fully aware of what hot key to
press to get the time and date,f12 once to get the time, press it
twice quickly to get the date. I want to be crystal clear
here. What I want to be able to do is to be able to get both the
time, and the date, by pressing insert plus f12, only one time
instead of having to press it twice quickly. What I'm not sure of is
what script to modify or even what code needs to be changed so I can
do this. I'm not a script writer so I'm not very well versed with the
scripting language. So any help from someone who knows how to do this
would be very much appreciated. hope this is clear now.
Thanks.
