Thanks to Bruce Hines for his expertise.
Here's what he had me do:
0. mkdir loc (from your home) and cd loc
1. create file called LC_TIME.src will following contents:
        LC_TIME
        m_d_recent "%m/%d/%y"
        m_d_old    "%m/%d/%y"
        END LC_TIME
2. run command "localedef -i LC_TIME.src LC_TIME"
3. create script "vi myls"
        #!/usr/bin/ksh
        #
        #
        LC_TIME=$HOME/loc/LC_TIME
        export LC_TIME
        ls -l
What I did for step 3 was put LC_TIME=$HOME/loc/LC_TIME
        export LC_TIME in my .profile and now I get numeric dates.
Also you can do whatever you want in the m_d_recent definition.
Thanks again for you help.
