The main use for the % sign in Dos (aka Command Shell) is in batch programming. %a, %n etc indicates a variable which is generally entered by the user when starting the batch file. %string% generally indicates access to an Environment Variable which has been setup using the Set command. At the Command Prompt enter SET to show all the environment variables which have been setup.
Good luck
