What is the difference between `l' and `C-u l', then?

I thought that "press[ing] `C-u l' to get logging information included into
this time-sorted display" just meant that...

That is simply great!  Waouwww.

But, still, is there any obvious way to get a view similar to that one (it may
be completely different -- just speaking of the information that's somehow
displayed)?

The fact is, in my company (where I just am an employee), I have to give out
to our accountant 2 things at the end of every month:

    o   a list of time spent per client (the table is great therefore);

    o   a chronological view, with notes, so that she can put dates and
        summary justifications in the bill she sends to them.

The first one is available as is. My question goes for the second type of
information.

Best regards. And, once again, many thanks for your helping handS!
