Wild guess .. F3 Based :)

The clue is the F3 T> prompt.

You need to look at the available commands for T mode. Then the structure of the command.

I do the same thing myself NC - probably more often than you do :)

How are you getting the drive into terminal mode? or is it getting there by itself?

The % command is obsolete on F3 T> hence the message.
