AE44 =TIME

Submitted by Steve Fewell

Description:

If the next character after the TIME keyword is a dollar sign '$' character then jump to the =TIME$ routine.

Set Y to #&00 and X to #&2A, so that &002A is the first byte of the parameter block for the OSWORD call).
Execute the OSWORD &01 command to obtain the TIME value and place it in the parameter block (the IWA).
Exit with A = #&40 (as the current value is an Integer and is located in the IWA).
