>Description:

	The at command doesn't seem to be able to parse any of the
	date formats listed for it in its own man page.

	It also does not prompt for commands to run, unlike other ats
	that I've used in the past.

	One more thing... When it tried to run that 'ls' command I 
	gave it, I got a mail message saying 'cannot fork'.  This seems a
	bit odd, given:

		idiom:muir<45> df -i /proc
		Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity iused   ifree  %iused  Mounted on
		procfs              4        4        0   100%      91     953     9%   /proc
		idiom:muir<46> pstat -T
		232/3404 files
		   2184 vnodes
		45M/96M swap space

>How-To-Repeat:

	Try some of th following.

	    idiom:archive<49> at 1725 Jan 13
	    ls
	    Job a00d0ead5.000 will be executed using /bin/sh
	    idiom:archive<50> atq
	    Date                    Owner   Queue   Job#
	    17:25:00 01/12/96       muir    a       a00d0ead5.000
	    idiom:archive<51> cd
