Clocks & Backgrounds

I have been tasked to mock-up a desktop interface using MetaCard. The
cognitive people's design calls for a clock to be displayed. Does any one
know how I can have a running clock update itself in a background field?
Since it is just a demo, I can always just put a random time value into a
field as text, but a running clock would really knock their socks off.

>From the "Boy am I in my own little world and never noticed that feature
before" department, did 1.3 introduce editing and access of the background
fields or did that exist in 1.2? I have always used the Menu Bar to get
into and out of background groups. Any opinions on whether that is the
preferred/least-preferred method? Is there a way to return to editing the
card from a background without using the Menu Bar?
