org-clock-in takes an optional start-time argument which is used instead of the current time when non-nil. So I tried (setq ct (current-time)) (setq start-time (cons (car ct) (list (- (cadr ct) 900) (caddr ct)))) and started a clock on a task with ESC ESC : (org-clock-in nil start-time) and it got clocked in 15 minutes before the current time. Now I don't propose this as a good UI :-), but it would require just a small wrapper for it to dtrt. HTH, Nick
