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.

something like:

on idle
put shell("date") into fld "date and time"
end idle
