Tnx for the clarification.
Over the past year, I got really confused about how WL enters the correct
time in the log. Since first starting to use WL some two years ago, I have
had my computer clock set on UTC/Casablanca, and WL would correctly assign
the computer's time to the log entry. Then, all of a sudden during some
contest this past fall, I discovered my log entries had 5 hours added to UTC.
So, based on that, I set my computer clock to EST, so that the +5 hrs. would
produce a correctly timed log entry.
I have no idea of why +5 hrs was being added to the computer's UTC time to
cause an incorrect log time. However, I have once again set the computer's
clock to UTC/Casablanca and the log time is now correct.
If the WL Help file ever gets updated, it recommend that a full explanation
of how WL handles time be included in the documentation. Selecting "time" in
the Help file explains nothing of this.
Tnx for helping me figure this out.
