I can't see how to enter that other than by hand. When I type C-c C-d, I get the wonderful date prompt system. But I have not been able to discover how to get that to prompt me for the time or to include a time, like it includes month and day, etc. I've spent some time with the manual and searching the archives, but my search skills haven't prevailed. Any advice?

What you get is really a date time prompt and not just a date prompt.
You could enter date in any of the ways given in the org-manual [1].

There is just one example on how to enter the time, given in the manual
     22 sept 0:34  --> 2006-09-22 0:34

But, entering time this way works with whatever format you use for
entering the date. Enter the date and then enter time with a space
separating the date and time.
