The problems you are having are directly related to the first two versions
of the control panel accessory.  It "helpfully" (ha!) sets the time and
date to a default when it is initialized.  Since it always "knows" what
the time is suppost to be, whenever you open and close the panel, it resets
the date and time to what -it- thinks they're suppost to be.
  The fix is to obtain one of the three control panel programs that don't
think they know everything.  These are available via many user groups, bbs's
Compuserve and ST using friends...

  (Note that you can run one of the time/date setting programs -after- the
desktop is initialized, and this will set things correctly for time stamping
your files.  The only problem is, again, that if you open the control panel,
it will set the time to it's false time and you have to run your setting
program again.  The best fix is just get a new control panel....)
