Using time-stamp in emacs


Guys,

I have been using kwrite as the editor for my fortran programming, however it is too slow when using it remotely. Also it doesnt have the time-stamp function as emacs. Now when i started using emacs n expecting to have the time-stamp function, its not working. I had added necessary script in .emacs file found on net (as below) and of course i had included Time-stamp: <> in the file. Are there any other things that I should include/do to get this function available in emacs. Oh ..another thing, I also tried M-x time-stamp, its loaded, but nothing happened after that. So please could anyone advice me regarding this??

Thanks

emm ..i just solved it, unintentionally, i found a quick guide saying "touch" command would update the time-stamp. after using it, time-stamp seems to be working flawlessly ...
