Hmm. I wrote the code just a few months ago to provide this timestamp. I=20
took the time as plot->time. I realise now that this time is only=20
updated at a button release event, and put to 0 at each "record", so if=20
the user doesn't click on the window this timestamp may have a useless=20
value.
