Re: Count Up Timer?
When I was very young I used to run a gadget like this on a field with styled text: on mouseUp get fld 1 repeat for each char tChar in it put numToChar(charToNum(tChar)) after accum end repeat put accum into fld 2 end mouseUp But you do not have to do all that: on mouseUp get fld 1 put it into fld 2 end mouseUp I suppose when you put styled text into a variable, unless you play with the HTMLText, only plain text can be held there.

Re: Count Up Timer?
You want the convert command. convert 1605553200 from seconds to dateitems gives you 2020,11,16,19,0,0,2 (lookup dateitems). convert the date && the time to seconds gives the date/time right now = 1635805440, then do the same as step one with that gives you 2021,11,1,22,24,0,2.
