  They're just strings.  If you've done any kind of computer
programming, string expansion should be familiar.

  (1) take the string "..."
  (2) Expand everything which looks like %{NAME}
  (3) leave everything else alone.

  "Hello, my name is %{User-Name}"

-->

  "Hello, my name is bob"

  Again like most computer programming, it would have been faster for
you to *try* a few things for yourself.  That way you learn by
experience, rather than waiting for someone to get around to answering
the posts on the list.
