The RSH/LPR user name is saved as the USER environment variable in the CONFIG.SYS file.
Specify a single character string to represent all the following: the abbreviation for your time zone, the number of hours your time zone differs from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), and the abbreviation for your daylight savings time. TCP/IP uses this time-zone character string to determine the correct date and time for clients located in different time zones.
Select a time zone character string from the Time Zones list box or type your own string in the format SSSnDDD, as follows:
If you do not observe daylight savings time, do not use a value for DDD.

Optional DST Parameters
Optionally, you can specify the following Daylight Savings Time (DST) parameters:
If you want to use one or more of the optional DST parameters, you must give values for all of the parameters. If any value is not valid, the entire statement is considered not valid, and there will be no change to the time zone information.
The optional DST parameters follow the DST zone identifier, and are separated by commas. For example:
CST6CDT,3,0,15,3600,10,0,27,7200,3600
For this example, DST starts on March 15 and ends on October 27. The starting time, ending time, and time shift are all default values.
