There's no built-in support from shortcuts for a "time with seconds" macro.
Somebody could patch TimeToAscii, watching for the case where the
time format matched the system prefs time format, and the
hours/minutes matched the current time (to within a one second
error), and then always return back the time including seconds. This
might cause other software on your device to display odd time
strings, but it should work.
There might be some custom Palm software that provides support for
what you're trying to do - I'd scan the bigger sites for
tracking/logging applications.

As an aside, a friend of mine has been working on a generic "event
logger", for use in his classroom. I'd be interested in finding out a
bit more about the events that you're logging, and what you plan to
do with the data on the desktop - I have the feeling if he
generalized his approach a bit, it might work for people like you
doing things outside of the classroom.
Thanks,
