I don't know how to set the VT220 time, but I do beleve the VT220 is
capable of running the sysline program.  Which will display the date,
time, load, number of users, 1st line of mail recieved in the last 60
seconds (or whatever you have update time set to).  It came with the Ultrix
system I use, but I think it's a BSD thing so there is a good chance you
have it, if not mabie someone has written a PD version.
