STOPWATCH(1x)															     STOPWATCH(1x)

NAME

       stopwatch -- a stopwatch and timer program

SYNOPSIS

       stopwatch

DESCRIPTION

       stopwatch  does what its name implies - enables hand timing much like a physical stopwatch. It can also be used as a countdown timer. Stop-
       watch has millisecond accuracy and no artificial limit on hours.

DIRECTIONS

       Press "start" to start the stopwatch and "stop" to stop it. "record" records the current time and selects it so	that  it  can  readily	be
       pasted  into  other programs. Recorded times are marked with an L for "lap" or T for "total". When stopped, you can cut/paste/edit the time
       by hand and set it to any valid time. "zero" resets the time to zero. Holding down the shift key while pressing record or zero, records and
       then zeros the time.

       Time  moves  forward  or  backward  according  to the Run menu. By default, time is stopped automatically when either the lap or total time
       reaches zero. To disable the automatic stop, unselect Run -> Stop At Zero.
