Answers:
Ctl.Ans1 =Time of day HH:MM:SS 24 hour format.
Ctl.Ans2 =Time of day HH:MM:SS 12 hour format.
Ctl.Ans3 =An internal IO count. Feel free to ignore this. .

Notes:
If you supply a variable name with this command, the same thing that goes into %answer goes into the variable also.

If you wanted to time a particulat block of code, the sequence might look like this:
timing %start

:
timing %end
set %elapsed=timestr(timediff(%start;%end)

in the above example the start and end times are in HH:MM:SS form and so is the elapsed time. See "Time Functions " for more information about this.
