Can anyone suggest a way of putting the time of day into your prompt?

	For "sh", the command "set -p" will put the time in your prompt.
	I don't think it's that easy in "csh" (i.e., no command to do it),
	but I won't guarantee that statement.

	Well, I've since been informed of something I wasn't aware of.
	It seems that the "set -p" command (to get the time in sh's prompt)
	was a local mod, and not a standard feature.  Oh well, sorry 'bout
	that.
