They are placeholders in conversion expressions, that will be 
replaced with the following:
        $$i = Name of input file
        $$i = Name of output file
        $$p = hmm... path of input or output file, I think...

The general answer is: the source, but you'll find some info here about 
'file-open' and similar LFUNs':

        http://ev-en.org/wiki/moin.cgi/LyxDevelLFUNs

In most cases however, you'll have to resort to:
 * trial-and-error, i.e. test the commands and see what they do
 * Look at the source (there are links to the source in the page above)
 * send specific questions to the list (devel-list?), e.g 
        "what kind of arguments does 'file-open' take?"
