	I just double checked with the source, GULAM sets both the
IKBD and GEMDOS clocks for the date command. The format for specifying
the date should be exactly the string

		mm-dd-yy-hh:mm[:ss]

where by [:ss] i mean that specifying seconds is optional. Notice the '-'
between the date and time. hh sould be in the 24 hour format. The code does
not check for a valid string --> GIGO.
