    Listing that -

    I would like to have a "date" command inserted to separate each
    group of six lines. Can some one tell me how to do that or point me
    in the right direction.

    This is an updated F-11 computer.

If you want it in a different format, man date and look at the format
options.

    Thanks Steve and Chris. I wont tell you how much time I've spent
    messing with that problem, simple for you perhaps, but not for me.
    I do however learn a little each time and keep notes and can
    expand on what I learn.
