Joe,
You can use the S-up and S-down key combinations to adjust the clocks for
the current activity and the previous one. Move over to the hour and
do S-up or S-down,
then do the same with the minutes. The date gets adjusted
automatically if you're
straddling midnight.
cheers,
mehul
p.s. does that make org-mode perfect now ? :)
