TIME$
Abbreviation: TI$
TYPE: String Function
FORMAT: TI$
Action: The TI$ timer looks and works like a real clock as long
as your system is powered-on. The hardware interval timer (or
jiffy clock) is read and used to update the value of TI$, which
will give you a TIme $tring of six characters in hours, minutes
and seconds. The TI$ timer can also be assigned an arbitrary starting
point similar to the way you set your wristwatch. The value of
TI$ is not accurate after tape I/O.
EXAMPLE of TI$ Function:
1 TI$ = "000000": FOR J=1 TO 10000: NEXT: PRINT
TI$
000011
