        Ken, you're missing his point.

        ... he knows how to time... what he wants is to use the -o switch to send the 
time to an output file... this will not work with the shell version of 
time... he must use:

        /usr/bin/time -o outputfile date

        This will time the date command and send the timing results to outputfile.
