timezones

  Here is a list of supported timezones for use with the tzone variable (see
"help v_tzone").  Some are given prefixes in this list in order to distinguish
them.  Note that there tend to be paired codes, with one code for Standard
time and one for Daylight savings time.  For example, CST is Central Standard
Time and CDT is Central Daylight savings Time.

  If you cannot find your timezone in this list, you can use hour differences,
such as "set tzone +2" where the +2 means your time is two (2) hours ahead of
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).  If you need to enter fractions of an hour, use
decimals.

  For the current server time, type "date"; it will give you both the date and
time.
