Thank you, Erich I had looked at the link that you pointed me to (thank you, though.), and that's what I found confusing. I "assume" :-) that you need to complete both Steps 5.1 & 5.2. Right???
On that assumption, I don't know if it's correct, but I made an entry in the /etc/TZ that is: PST8PDT 1.) In Section 5.2, I see reference to the TZ variable. Does the variable already exist, or does it need to be created? Where do I create it?
