> Thanks, David, but i'm still a little confused. I have put "TIME" in my
3.5/prefs drawer, and guess what? It still doesn't save the time/date. It
DOES always say that it's 1/3/00, but, that isn't helping. Sorry for the
dumb questions, I am good at the "darkside" dos, just have to get up to
speed at AmigaDos. :)
I think that your sasying that I will have to use the shell to move TIME to
the boot partition? Or am I wrong? If I am right, assume i'm a total newbie
at this, and please tell mw how to do it, step by step.
BTW, thanks to all for replying to my letter, this group is the greatest!
