Hello Jonathan,

Just to butt in and just FYI:

I slapped a small REXX file together to display the date and time (without
prompt to change it):

------------------- begin of datetime.cmd -------------------
/* Day Date Time */
say date('W') date() Time()
-------------------- end of datetime.cmd --------------------

Great for batch / REXX files to stuff the date and time in logfiles.

Date('W') returns the day of week (in other words: sunday, monday, etc.).
