It doesn't work properly.  You push the edit button and that's when it's 
stamped.  Not when the save button is pushed.  I want the time stamp to occur 
when the save button is pushed.  I'm now trying to edit the savepage.php file 
to do this.  

I've added a line to your savepage.php file, thus...
    ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    //
    // From here on, we're actually saving.
    //
    $content = date("Y/m/d H:i:s - ") .$content;   <----THIS IS THE LINE
    $newrevision = $page->createRevision($editversion + 1,
                                         $content, $meta,
                                         ExtractWikiPageLinks($content));

but it doesn't work.  It doesn't error, it just doesn't do anything.

Yes, I have found this out.  I would like to append this timestamp at the end 
of the typed text when the save button is pushed and (as I am learning) the 
savepage.php script is executed.

YES!  This is *exactly*  where I am trying to go.  But alas, I know not what 
I do.  But I *am* trying.

Thanks!
