After waiting maturely while you mean people :-) ingnored Mr. Banks'
question (or perhaps e-mailed him), I'm here to say that "less"'s man
page, [less can be gotten from comp.sources.unix archives, e.g., on
uunet.uu.net], says:

          p    Go to a position N percent into the file.  N should be
               between 0 and 100.  (This is possible if standard input
               is being read, but only if less has already read to the
               end of the file.  It is always fast, but not always
               useful.)

          %    Same as p.
