'%%~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.

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
by Tim Hill
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.
