command line prompt showing how long last command took?

[sillyhat]

Hello

I sometimes use a prompt like this:

PROMPT=$D $T$H$H$H [$P]$_$G$S

which gives me this:

Fri 2006-05-12 16:55:32 [H:\]
I would like to be able to have something like this:

Fri 2006-05-12 16:55:32 (00:00:00.34) [H:\]
where the time in bracket is the time taken to execute the last
command.

There is an option under some unix shells to do this.

Is it possible in XP? I know from isssuing a 'prompt /?' that there is
no direct way of doing it but perhaps there is some undocumented way.

If not, I'll stick to TIMETHIS.EXE

Thanks in advance.

Hal
