Eg I want to compile (using javac) the current file.  I tried %1 - but that
doesn't work.  What symbol do I need to use?

Why use a symbol when the real file is around? M-x compile RET <a bit  
of cleaning, presumingly> javac <the file's name> – started for  
example from from your Java source file in order to allow javac to run  
in the directory where the file resides.

Doesn't this work? Is there no file name completion in mini-buffer?
