  1.           TIMEKEY                                   Jeff Prosise
  2.           Command                                     1987/No. 3
  3.  
  4.           ______________________________________________________
  5.  
  6.           Purpose:  Inserts the date and/or time into documents
  7.                     being created by other applications programs.
  8.  
  9.           Format:   [d:][path]TIMEKEY
  10.  
  11.           Remarks:  TIMEKEY is a memory-resident utility and must
  12.                     be loaded after the system date and time have
  13.                     been initialized.  Subject to this
  14.                     limitation, it may be loaded either at the
  15.                     command line or as part of an AUTOEXEC.BAT
  16.                     file.
  17.  
  18.                     Once loaded, TIMEKEY uses the following
  19.                     keystrokes:
  20.  
  21.                     Alt-L inserts a long-form date
  22.                          (e.g., June 10, 1987)
  23.                     Alt-S inserts a short-form date
  24.                          (e.g., 6-10-87)
  25.                     Alt-T inserts the time (e.g., 12:21 PM)
  26.  
  27.                     Notes:
  28.  
  29.                     1.   Once loaded, TIMEKEY keeps track of the
  30.                          time automatically, but it does not
  31.                          change the current date at midnight
  32.                          unless the system is manually rebooted.
  33.  
  34.                     2.   TIMEKEY is compatible with BASICA (which
  35.                          also uses the timer tick) and with many
  36.                          memory resident utilities (e.g.,
  37.                          SideKick), but compatibility with all
  38.                          TSR programs cannot be assured.
