This should be an easy one!  I have a standard, old 6 MHz IBM PC AT (believe
it or not, but it keeps going), and I am trying to reset the system clock.
The TIME command allows me to reset it for DOS (3.0) so as long as I leave
the machine on I'm o.k., but when I turn it off, it comes back up with the
same crummy incorrect time.  What's the trick to setting the actual hardware
system clock?  The DOS manual says consult your GTO.  What's a GTO?

I know I should have figured this out years ago.  I'm sure the answer is simple.
I just don't have it.  Thanks for your help.
