[Coco] DS1216 question..

Some time back, I had asked about setting this DS1216 chip. I want to
be able to set it from within B09 with B09 data.
The "setclk" module I'm using now will only accept input from the
keyboard.
If I attempt to set it...for example such as "setclk
yy/mm/dd/hh/mm/ss" it prompts me to enter those same data. There is no
way to enter the data from the command line except for after starting
that application and it prompts me for that same data.
I'm using a program that requires very accurate time and, even though
that clock chip keeps pretty good time, I want to use my B09 program to
be able to reset it on a scheduled basis to correct it for the errors
that it does, natively.
So, I'm still looking for a "setclock" utility that will work this
way.... From B09, I want to do the usual.....
"shell setclock yy mm dd hh mm ss" from within the program and the
program will calculate the error of the smartwatch based on known errors
over a period of time and reset it accordingly. Thus, it will keep it on
time. Should things change within that smartwatch, I can change the
"reset" values accordingly.
I understand this is a very strange request but I really do want a
"setclock" that will allow me to do this.
Suggestions welcome!!
