Several users have written to ask about Time Mode. I'm working on an
idea or two to improve Time entry, but in the meanwhile, here is a
stealthy tip you may not be aware of.

You can display a time value in Hours, Minutes, and Seconds by
pressing "Hour" again when Hour is already the assigned unit. For
example, say you enter 1.592 and press Hour. The display reads 1.592
hr, and the Hour key is highlighted. Press Hour again, and the display
changes to 1 hr 35 min 31.2 s. This trick also works for other time
units, as well as many non-metric dimensional units. For example,
enter 1.5 ft, then press Feet again, and the display will switch to 1
ft 6 in.
