     Woops.  Here's the offending code:

 TC>     HMS& = Hours& + Minutes& + Seconds&
 TC>     IF HMS& > 65536 THEN
 TC>         InRegs.cx = 65536 - HMS&
 TC>     ELSE
 TC>         InRegs.cx = HMS&  ' <<< This is where it's cookies gets
 TC>     END IF                '     Tossed.  It exits with error #6.

     Change:
          IF HMS& > 65536 THEN

     To:
          IF HMS& => 65536 THEN
     or
          IF HMS& > 65535 THEN
