If you have my GetSet.cmd script, then you should be able to find it by
searching for "clock".   If not, then GetSet created this script to create my
system clock (WARP 3):

 ** NOTE: This duplicates

 ** Edit "OBjectID" VAR if you want new objectID
 ** Edit "Loc" VAR to place object in different folder
 ** The "TITLE" setting should match the NAME VAR.
 ** "Loc" must be an existing FOLDER ObjectID

This is true, it is a special object, as are many, like the startup folder and 
so on.
