>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.

Now you will hate us for doing this in so many different ways... here's my intellisense script I use for commenting my code - and it works in the command window as well. Not the same as having the timestamp inserted automatically at launch, but close:
lparam oFoxCode
oFoxCode.ValueType="V"
lnHours=SET("Hours")
set hours to 24
lcSetDate=set("date")
set century on
set date ymd
lcReturn= "*["+ttoc(datetime())+"] " +getwordnum(sys(0),2, " #")+ " -"
set hours to lnHours
set date to (lcSetDate)
return lcReturn
As you see, most of it is to set the date and time to American Standard format.

Alternately, if you have a "command=Do xxx" line in your config.fpw, you can add this line to xxx.prg:
STRTOFILE(TEXTMERGE("*--<<DATETIME()>> - <<SYS(0)>> ")+0h0d, HOME()+"_command.prg",1)
