Yes and no.

I was wrong in my description, the correct functions to call are
"get_timestamps(cookie)" and "get_timestamps_decoded(cookie)", with an S
at the end of the "timestamp" word.

However, you cannot get a timestamp for on a single question through
get_timestamps[_decoded](). With those calls, you'll get *all* the
timestamps for participants, questions and tags, in that order (see code
chunks 17a and 19f in demexp book).

If you want the timestamp of a single question (or a small set of
questions), use "question_info()". The timestamp of a question is
available in the field question_info[n].q_timestamp (see code chunk 17d
page 17 in demexp book[1]).

Yours,
d.
