You can have a var called "seconds" or something like this. Every frame you add the delta time of the frame (that is time_frame / 16). Once you need to display the minutes and seconds, its pretty simple math:
var passedMinutes = seconds / 60;
var passedSeconds = seconds % 60;
Edit: Just found "total_secs" in the manual. You can use this variable instead of counting your own variable up. However, if you want to be able to restart the game, you need to use your own variable so you can set it back any time.

I think, I'm too stupid =D If I use "total_secs" in my own var and want to show it in a panel:
var seconds = total_secs;
PANEL* zeit_pan =
{
layer = 2;
pos_x = 50;
red = 0; green = 0; blue = 0;
digits = 0,0," %5.0f",fnt_score, 1, seconds;
flags = SHOW;
}
it doesn't work - but if I use "total_secs" directly in the panel, it works fine... and I also don't want to just show the seconds (because it isn't really nice to see that you have played 326 seconds since the game started), I want to show minutes : seconds. need some help here...=D

Try my example:
#include <default.c>
#define PRAGMA_PATH "%EXE_DIR%\samples"
var seconds, minutes = -1;
FONT* A20b = "Arial#20b";
PANEL* pInfo;
function main()
{
fps_max = 60;
level_load ("small.hmp");
vec_set(camera.x, vector(0,0,150));
pInfo = pan_create(NULL,0);
pan_setdigits(pInfo,0,10,10,"SECONDS = %.0f", A20b, 1, seconds);
pan_setdigits(pInfo,0,10,30,"MINUTES = %.0f", A20b, 1, minutes);
set(pInfo, OUTLINE|SHOW);
while(level_ent)
{
if ((total_frames % 60) == 1) seconds++;
if ((total_frames % (60*60)) == 1) minutes++;
wait(1);
}
}

Rojart, thats evil because you assume that the user always has 60 frames per seconds. This is a much nicer approach:
var passedSeconds = 0;
// ...
while(level_ent)
{
passedSeconds += time_frame / 16;
minutes = passedSeconds / 60;
seconds = passedSeconds % 60;
wait(1);
}
