date and time in IDL prompt? [message #16611]

Is it possible to always have the current date and time echo in the IDL
prompt? If I do

IDL> !prompt = 'IDL '+systime(0)+ ' >'

I get a prompt that looks like

IDL Thu Aug 05 09:11:24 1999 >

but it is static, i.e. subsequent prompts always contain the same date
and time:

IDL Thu Aug 05 09:11:24 1999 >
IDL Thu Aug 05 09:11:24 1999 >!prompt = 'IDL '+systime(0)+ ' >'
IDL Thu Aug 05 10:52:12 1999 >

Is there a way to make it dynamic?
