How can you set th time back 5 minutes in a batch file?

Do you have to grab the time first like
set x = %time%

then subtract it....
x = x-5

then
set time = x

that doesn't seem to work...DOS is confusing me....

Ask this in the Programming Forum.

There is nothing to learn from someone who already agrees with you.
