*First of all, i should tell that these two functions are in TinyOS 1, not
TinyOS 2x. So, you should be working on TinyOS 1.
then your questions:
** Timer.start(TIMER_REPEAT,1000) : by calling this, you set a timer which
signals a fired() event in every 1000 time.  For an example if you want to
read the phenominon in every 1000 time period, then you use TIMER_REPEAT.
Timer.start(TIMER_ONE_SHOT,1000) : this signals fired() event only once.

*i am not clear what do you mean by this question. But, cal Timer.getNow()
gives the current time.*

*Note: I am also new to TinyOS, so i guess somebody else will correct me, if
i am wrong or missing something.*
