[Coco] Smartwatch setting from Basic09

[Bill Pierce]

George, If setime works, why not just run setime from basic09 in your program?
Run setime(whatever)

Dealing with the smartwatch from OS-9 is a pretty involved process --
disabling interrupts, mapping in ROM space, frobbing the MPI control,
etc.  AFAIK you have to do it from assembly.

I'd recommend getting in touch with the Glenside club and getting
their Y2K patch set, it has Y2K clean smartwatch utilities -- with
source. Then you could either 1) attempt to turn those utilities into
Basic09-callable subroutine modules, or 2) do your stuff then SHELL
the utilities.
