Yes, you're right, that is mis-named. This is one of the things that the
new StrongHelp manual makes much easier to spot. I'll fix that, thanks.

No, You've mis-understood. Those are the SWI numbers that the function
calls, and are correct. I think what you're looking for is the op code
for the specific operation:

oswordreadclock_OP_LOCAL_STRING
oswordreadclock_OP_LOCAL_BCD
etc.

This is another thing that is easier to find in the new manual.

The SWI numbers, although publicly defined, should not be of any real
interest to application programmers.

Thanks for your help, Dave.
