NAME

       stopwatch — a stopwatch and timer program

SYNOPSIS

       stopwatch

DESCRIPTION

       stopwatch does what its name implies - enables hand timing much like a physical stopwatch.
       It can also be used as a countdown  timer.  Stopwatch  has  millisecond  accuracy  and  no
       artificial limit on hours.

DIRECTIONS

       Press  "start"  to start the stopwatch and "stop" to stop it. "record" records the current
       time and selects it so that it can readily be pasted into other programs.  Recorded  times
       are  marked with an L for "lap" or T for "total". When stopped, you can cut/paste/edit the
       time by hand and set it to any valid time. "zero" resets the time to  zero.  Holding  down
       the shift key while pressing record or zero, records and then zeros the time.

       Time  moves  forward  or  backward  according to the Run menu. By default, time is stopped
       automatically when either the lap or total time reaches zero.  To  disable  the  automatic
       stop, unselect Run -> Stop At Zero.
