After returning to this matter again, I found that the DATE command *does*
work normally with PC DOS 7 (Y2K-updated) and PC DOS 2000 (Y2K fix present).
Although the DATE command prompts for a change in the dd-mm-yy format, I
enter the change as dd-mm-yyyy, and it adjusts normally. Since it's been
several days since I've used this command, I now don't recall what I may
have done in error -- and I've altered nothing on the two computer systems
with these PC DOS versions installed on them.
If I was dreaming, at least I now appear to be awake! :-)
Thank you for the suggestions, anyway...
