resolution of Time in Rev

[Mark Smith]

If it helps, 'the seconds' (like 'the time', 'the date', 'the files') 
is really a function, and can be used like:  put seconds() into tNow.

Incidentally, looking this up reveals that the dictionary also lists 
'seconds' (plural) as a keyword to denote the second member of a set, 
when obviously it should be 'second' (singular).

Is this the kind of thing to bz?

Cheers,

Mark
