   After ca. 50 years I have completed the $@ $! $+! $C+ $/ with   
   $\ . Now I can do this   
      
   "12:03:43" &: $\ TYPE &: $\ TYPE &: $\ TYPE   
   43 03 12 OK   
      
   "12:03:43" &: $/ TYPE &: $/ TYPE &: $/ TYPE   
   12 03 43 OK   
      
   Insert   
       "hr" TYPE   
   as required.   
      
   I can't believe the long posts this sparks.
