Not really an acceptable answer. Having to use 2 different interface methods to 
fill in one time/date stamp value is confusing and cludgy. Plus, if you type in 
a full time/date stamp + time, you can still move around in the calendar, but 
it doesn't update the selected datestamp in yellow.  Also confusing.
I use the calendar to select a date, it works wonderfully, and quickly.   But, 
once a date is picked, having either a prompt or a simple picker that works 
with the S+ARROWS to select a time would be great, and make a much smoother 
interface.
