There you go, then.

What I'm using (I just went and checked) is a freeware utility called
touch.com but there is probably a similar command in DOS.  One reason I
checked is that hubby has installed a number of Unix commands on our
computers, but I was fairly sure this wasn't one of them... they tend to
be more abbreviated, such as "ls" (list) to be used instead of
"dir".
He's also installed a number of little utilities, some of which he wrote
himself.  I learn the magic spell, and how/when to use it, and hopefully
how to get help on it (besides yelling for him... ), and that's
usually the extent of my knowledge. :)
