  The following information has been given:

    Pacific Time

  Therefore TZ='America/Los_Angeles' will be used.
  Local time is now:    Fri Feb 27 10:08:21 PST 2009.
  Universal Time is now:    Fri Feb 27 18:08:21 UTC 2009.

  #?

Confirm your choice:

  You can make this change permanent for yourself by appending the line
    TZ='America/Los_Angeles'; export TZ
  to the file '.profile' in your home directory; then log out and log in again.

  Here is that TZ value again, this time on standard output so that you
  can use the /usr/bin/tzselect command in shell scripts:
  America/Los_Angeles
