>>This probably sounds ridiculous, but every once in a while I scroll up through the history in the Command Window to review something I have done recently. I would be nice (for me anyway) if there was a way to drop a Date stamp into it once a day so I could zero in on what I'm looking for a little easier. I've spent a few minutes trying to do this with no success.

Better to do it without using the _cliptext variable, though. Try to do it directly.

The macro idea is good.
