recording current experimental time

[Peter Quain]

in the e-basic help look up: Clock.Read. It is ms since start of the 
script. You can store value in variables and compute various 
durations if you want.

Example:
'Make some Global Variables (in 'User' Tab)
Dim time1, time2, dur1 as Long
'At some later time in your script, grab time since script started
time1 = Clock.Read
'[.... some more part of your experiment ....]
'Grab time since script started
time2 = Clock.Read
'Compute interval, time1 to time2
dur1 = time2 - time1
