Figure 4-13 The Time Editor
You 'IIfind that setting the time with this editor is much simpler than using the AmigaDOS Date command.
Calendar: When you open the editor, you should first enter the proper year in the text gadget at the top-center of the window. (Be sure to press Return!) Next, use the cycle gadget to the left to choose the month. The editor contains a perpetual calendar, so after you enter the month and year, the proper calen dar will appear below. To set the day of the month, simply select it with the left mouse button. Time: You set the time of day with the two sliders at the right side of the win dow. The left slider sets the hour; the right one sets the minute. Because the hour slider does not recognize AM and PM, you choose values from 0(12 AM) to 23 (11 PM). The minute slider lets you select a value from 0 to 59. The Use button sets the system clock, and the Save button sets both the system and the battery-backed clocks. If you have a battery-backed clock, you should have to use this editor only when you first unpack your new Amiga, move to a new time zone, or daylight savings begins and ends.
