In this case, the only uses of %F in the help are in an example under
'titlestring' and in a TODO item.

Bee's reply, and the line where I said earlier that 'titlestring' is a
'statusline'-like option, should have pointed Andy the help for
'statusline', where it is explained first that there can be printf-style
% items in the value of that option, and lower down (about one page down
with my 'guifont' in a maximized gvim) there is a list of possible
items. For %F, the relevant line is:

F S Full path to the file in the buffer.

and its meaning is explained in the help text that comes above it.


Best regards,
Tony.
