Re: batch files/dos commands from Xy4

 hadn't heard of TIME
/T.  In NT it reports the time without

prompting for a new time.  I don't see it documented anywhere. 
In

OS/2 the switch is /N.  (You don't say what OS you're
running.)


Carl, I'm on XP Home and a Dell Inspiron 8100. My documentation for time
/t, such as it is, is the result of typing in time /? at the command
prompt, resulting in:




"Displays or sets the system time.



TIME [/T | time]



Type TIME with no parameters to display the current time setting
for a new one.  Press ENTER to keep the same time.



If Command Extensions are enabled the TIME command supports
the /T switch which tells the command to just output the
current time, without prompting for a new time."




I guess I must have command extensions enabled, whatever they are,
since this works.


 Let's try VER.  The
command is NOW3.  Does

it work?


Thanks very much for the programs, which I will try forthwith. But I can
report immediately that just running VER in DOS definitely does, as you
suspected it would, refresh the DOS subsystem into the right time. I
wonder if this is an XP problem, or a Dell problem, or what?
