From menu:
Options
Customize Emacs
Specific options
display TAB
Then setting 2 of these options should put
'(display-time-day-and-date t)
'(display-time-mode t nil (time))
into your .emacs custom-set-variables section.
There is also the function
display-time-string-forms
with which I haven't messed.
Btw, this is in version 21.3. Newer versions certainly have the same
functionality.
