Actually, for using the RunEPlus.bat file, you do not need those like that.

Release V1.1.1 documents the RunEPlus batch file better but also changes 
how the paths are configured -- differently from V1.1.0:

Here are the first few lines from the new file:

@echo off
  if Not "%1" == "" goto :NoErr
  echo usage: %0 InputFileName (req) WeatherFileName (opt)
  echo Current Parameters:
  echo Program         : %program_path%%program_name%
  echo Input Path      : %input_path%
  echo Output Path     : %output_path%
  echo PostProcess Path: %post_proc%
  echo Weather Path    : %weather_path%
  echo Pausing         : %pausing%
  echo MaxCol          : %maxcol%
  goto :done

:NoErr
:Instructions:
:  Complete the following path and program names.
:  path names must have a following \ or errors will happen
:  does not have the capability to run input macro files (yet)
:   %program_path% contains the path to the executable as well as IDD and is
:                  the root directory
:   %program_name% contains the name of the executable (normally 
EnergyPlus.exe)
:   %input_path%   contains the path to the input file (passed in as first 
argument)
:                  if the extension is imf -- will run epmacro to process 
before
:                  executing energyplus
:   %output_path%  contains the path where the result files should be stored
:                  except if macro input file -- those results will to back 
to %input_path%
:   %post_proc%    contains the path to the post processing program 
(ReadVarsESO)
:   %weather_path% contains the path to the weather files (used with 
optional argument 2)
:   %pausing%      contains Y if pause should occur between major portions of
:                  batch file (mostly commented out)
:   %maxcol%       contains "250" if limited to 250 columns otherwise contains
:                  "nolimit" if unlimited (used when calling readVarsESO)
  echo ===== %0 (Run EnergyPlus) %1 %2 ===== Start =====
  set program_path=
  set program_name=EnergyPlus.exe
  set input_path=ExampleFiles\
  set output_path=Test\
  set post_proc=PostProcess\
  set weather_path=WeatherData\
  set pausing=N
  set maxcol=250


If you want to see a lot more info change the
@echo off to
: @echo off

now, most of the commands will be re-echoed to you.  Hope this helps.
