[Coco] Smartwatch setting from Basic09

[George Ramsower]

 I used getclk as a background app. Low priority to the max. It would update the system clock about once a minute. No problem. The system clock was not part of this process. It was not upgraded for it. Simply "setclk" and "getclk" were available then. Today, I dunno!

 The "setclk" required a keyboard input but, I'm not so sure about that.
 Since the Smartwatch was consistant in losing time, I expect a utility to advance it on a scheduled  basis would keep it close enough.

 The OS9 I'm using had all the upgrades available then. It's not Nitros9. I'm good with it.However, the system clock could use upgrading as also using the Smarwatch, with occasional corrections from a background app. 
 I'll play with it this afternoon and have more info later.
 I'm sure there are more questions for someone to ask but, I'll have to wait for those. <stupid brain>

  I have heard of that utility George, but do not have it anyplace on my 
  system.

  If this setclk utility is written correctly, I'd assume that setting the 
  hardware clock would also cause the clock module to call the hardware clock 
  to update itself as if it would do at boot time, making it a one stop does 
  it all utility?
