You could have a look at what I tried putting together a few years ago when
I was doing the same thing and it also confounded me as I tried to get the
numbers added in.  It could use improvement (esp. making into macro) but it
should do what you're wanting.

When you animate it and want the frame number you'll need to change the INI
file being used to make clock go from 1 (or zero) to the final frame number.
I put a description in there.

Other people have done this before and you might find a better way via macro
if you search the files newsgroups, or maybe someone will let you know if
they have such a thing.
