Ah, but it _is_ listed in LBF under Time in the first table 'Current date and time', second row, second column...
I was referring to 'seconds', not 'systemDate', which is of course listed in LBF. Unless you know to look for 'seconds' in the Lingo dictionary itself, you don't have any indication it exists. It is not crossreferenced anywhere in the paper or e docs.

systemDate entry makes no mention of 'seconds'. It's also not
listed at
all under "Time" in Lingo by Feature.

But if you were looking for seconds, don't you think you'd look under that?  :)

poor cross-referencing is one of those things that was always easy to document.

There are Lingo Dict entries that have NO 'see also' entries -
That leads one to think that they have no other related Lingo ...

the Help System never gets the attention it deserves.

the time allocated to check it is often less than a day total (8 hrs.).

So what are you gonna do?
