I want a simple one-liner to insert in the run-file of FTPc that will 
save a file (any file, one of zero length) that has the date and time 
as the filename of that file.

This is just a simple way of showing me when I last ran FTPc.
I can look inside the FTPc app and look at the filename and see when I 
last ran it.

Any ideas?

I thought of using
Screensave"TimeLastRun"
but then I would have to run the spritefile and look at both the date 
and the time on the iconbar. Is there a simple way of saving the 
date/time as a filename as a one-liner in a Run file?
