string.timeString

Syntax	string.timeString (d = clock.now ())
Params	d is an optional date parameter. The default is the current date.
Action	Returns the time of day, using the format set by the system or the user for time values.
Returns	The time portion of the date as a string, using the current settings for time formatting, which may be altered by the user.
Examples	string.timeString () » 10:16:33 PM ch = string.getWordChar (); string.setWordChar (':'); time = string.timeString (); msg (string.nthWord (time, 2)); string.setWordChar (ch) Displays in Main Window the number of minutes in the current time, assuming standard time format.
Notes	Since the user can switch formats on the time, it may not be wise to rely on assumptions about the format. Use date.get in conjunction with clock.now for this purpose. Before Frontier 6.1, this verb did not require a date parameter.
