The following script will set the time on a WY-60:

#!/bin/sh
#
date "+^[c8%H%M"
#

Note:  ^[ should be the escape character.

Be careful not to send this sequence to an ANSI terminal such as the
VT-100.  <ESC> c is a hard reset that may not only trash your display
but may log you off.

The Fine Manual describes this sequence in the section on
"Communicating with the Computer" in Appendix D page 6.
