%APPDATA% is an environmental variable in Windows like $HOME is for
Linux. In Windows the profile is in a hidden directory off of the user
directory C:\Users\USERNAME\Appdata\Mozilla\SeaMonkey whereas in Linux
it is in the hidden directory /home/USERNAME/.mozilla/seamonkey
So, if I had my profile at
H:\here\there\anywhere\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Seamonkey\Profiles
would the %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Seamonkey command locate my Profile??
Only if the APPDATA environment variable were set to
'H:\here\there\anywhere\AppData\Roaming'.
Then the string '%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Seamonkey' would identify where your
Profiles directory is, in a context where environment variables are
expanded; one of those is a script (CMD or PowerShell); another is
reading a string from a Windows registry setting of type REG_EXPAND_SZ
(the normal way APPDATA is used).
Environment variables can be set system-wide as well as per-user in
Windows (and, somewhat differently, in Unix-like OSs). The settings are
inherited down the process hierarchy. See
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable>.
