[Logic] Changing the Time

Carl:

I must confess I nevers tumbled across the +/- button on the info screen,
but you're right it does work (gawsh!). Thanks.

So, if I can remember this tip 6 months from now, I won't need to do the
peeks & pokes. But I'll still need to change the UTC offset. Hope I
remember!   ;-)
