You do get this if you create a task like so:

******* TODO 1pm-14:30 another test task for Jose
               SCHEDULED: <2008-04-09 Wed>
               CREATED: [2008-04-09 Wed 12:30]
******* TODO test task for Jose 12:30-8:00pm
               SCHEDULED: <2008-04-09 Wed>
               CREATED: [2008-04-09 Wed 12:15]

And the agenda (with time grid turned on) looks like this:

Day-agenda (W15):
Wednesday   9 April 2008
                    8:00...... -------------------------

This is in section 10.4.2 / page marked #70 or page 77 as reported by
PDF reader (at least in manual for Release 6.00pre-2).

I think you either have not added SCHEDULED (C-c C-s) or have not
turned the time grid on (`G' in agenda view).
