Hi Carlos,
I played around with the commands this morning and wasn't able to get
back to the computer till this evening.  It is displaying time correctly
now, the bios clock reads time in gmt and the clock on the kicker panel
is reading correct eastern time now.  I expect it will keep correct time
now, thanks for your help.
