Time entry

[Scott Rossi]

Hi Pete:

FWIW, if you have a small amount of real estate for the time entry  
control, a clock face is a lot more efficient than a slider.   
Regardless, yes 48 is the number of 15 minute intervals.  The other  
thing you may need to adjust is the width of the slider base graphic  
-- it's currently wide enough to evenly accommodate tick marks for the  
48 intervals.
