Library /sys$common/syshlp/EVE$KEYHELP.HLB  —  Insert Date Time
  WPS Insert Date/Time

  Inserts the current date and time at your current position.

  Steps:

     1.  Put the cursor where you want to insert the date and time.

     2.  Press the WPS Insert Date/Time key (GOLD-\ or GOLD-|).

  Usage notes:

  o  The resulting text looks like this:  31-AUG-1993 11:03:49

  o  The cursor appears to the right of the time field.  Thus, to erase the
     time, leaving the date, use DELETE (the <X] key) or the WPS Delete
     Previous Word key (F13, CTRL/J, or LINEFEED).

  o  The date and time are inserted whether the mode of the buffer is insert
     or overstrike, pushing existing text to the right without wrapping.
     Depending on where you are on the line, your text may go past the right
     margin or even out of view (depending on the width of the window).  To
     reformat your text, use FILL (with the WPS keypad, press GOLD-KP5).

  o  To insert the date and time from within an EVE initialization file
     (such as in batch editing), use the TPU command and either of the
     following EVE procedures:

        TPU EVE$INSERT_TEXT (FAO ("!%D",0));
        TPU EVE$WPS_DATE_TIME;
