'%%~tF' means the date and time of the file referenced by 'transient'
variable F.
Type 'FOR /?' (without the apostrophes) at the CMD prompt for more
information.

One more question?????Where do I find all this information on switches and
commands???
Thanks for your help...
Have you tried Phil's suggestion 'FOR /?'?
Or 'HELP'? Or "Start/Help/Contents->Reference->MS-DOS Commands"?

Another good source of info is this:
Windows NT Shell Scripting

MacMillan Technical Publishing
ISBN 1-57870-047-7
$US 32
Has very useful explanations and tons of examples.
You can find it in any well stocked Borders, Barnes & Nobles etc.
