If you don't want to change the time shown, you simply press the
return key. And if you want to change the time after you have
started ms-dos (for example, to 8:20 a.m.), type the time com
mand followed by 8:20 in response to the ms-dos prompt. Note
that letters are not allowed; instead, you must type the time using
numbers only. The allowed options are:
hours = 0-24
minutes = 0-59
Separate the hour and minute entries by a colon. You do not have
to type the 55 (seconds) or cc (hundredths of a second).
