Tech-support kindly provided this answer to what seems to be likely to be
a widespread need.  The information was not obvious from searching the
help system for either "today" or "date".

The commands to use the current system date or time is to type:

	. local sysdate = c(current_date)
	. local systime = c(current_time)

These functions can be found in the help under "creturn"

---------
Thank you,
Allan
