Hi Paul,
thanks for your quick answer ;-)
The procedure you describe works well.
But the format of the date string does not fit well with all my needs,
because it is quite long.
So I come to a more general question:
Is it possible to invoke some linux command from inside LyX AND to get
the output of that command in the text?
Greetings from Munich

Half an answer: Type M-x to open the command minibuffer, then
date-insert (enter) in the minibuffer to insert the date at the current
cursor position. You could bind the date-insert command to a key
combination for easy access. I don't know any way to insert the current
time, though. Maybe something with a shell script? (Or bug the
developers to add a time-insert LFUN?)
