You could certainly put it in the same file you're putting the time in.
If you make it an argument to the batch file, you can output it to the
file and run the script without having to type it twice, e.g.:
@echo off
echo " > gottime.txt
echo | more | time | find "Current" >> gottime.txt
echo "; >> gottime.txt
echo " >> gottime.txt
echo %1 >>gottime.txt
echo "; >>gottime.txt
c:\progra~1\pov-ra~1.1\bin\pvengine.exe /render %1
exit
The original version of this batch file doesn't work on NT, by the
way, so I haven't been able to test it.

Thanks, that's what I've been doing, using the "%s" string substitution. I
was hoping there was a more direct way.

Sorry, but what the heck is this?

It is a dos batch file to copy the system time to a text file so that I
can read it with povray and use it in the scene.

Thanks for answering Greg, Bill. Yep, indeed, a simple DOS command-line
batch file is all. The other part needed is the gettime.pov, or contents
thereof, and I've also made a INI to go with to make it all work as
intended.
I'll upload the zip of these three files to p.b.s-f group shortly, since the
original was meant for running from DOS and these allow to run from POV.
