+<para>
+This command sets the system date and time, then activates the real
+time clock. The date and time can be entered as parameters, or if no
+parameters are given, SETIME will issue a prompt. Numbers are one
+or two decimal digits using space, colon, semicolon or slash
+delimiters. OS-9 system time uses the 24 hour clock, i.e., 1520 is
+3:20 PM.
+</para>
+<para>
+IMPORTANT NOTE: This command must be executed before OS-9 can
+perform multitasking operations. If the system does not have a real
+time clock this command should still be used to set the date for the
+file system.
+</para>
+<para>
+SYSTEMS WITH BATTERY BACKED UP CLOCKS: Setime should still be run to
+start time-slicing, but only the <emphasis>year</emphasis> need be given,
+the date and time will be read from the clock.
