[Rwp] getting time

Mon Nov 2 22:26:14 EST 2015

Actually i use CTRL+J to as a crude work around to quarry where i am. Atlas on OS X when you  open  that dialog you are in the edit field and you can just hit the arrow keys quickly to get a read out of where  you are, One of these days i will need to see if i can doc it and then use a hotspot to quarry it on the fly.
