I don't know what kind of Shell you are using under windows. Do you know anything about that ?
Do you know the basis of programmation : 
Programmes have standard input, and output units. If you remember, under dos you were able to run a command, the program was sometime asking you about some input and you were able to answer by typing something on the keyboard. Your keyboard was the standrad input while the window in wich the program printed its questions was printing the so called standard output. The principle here is very much the same. But to avoid the hassle of typing everything by hand we rely on so called redirection of standard input. Instead of reading in the window, when you type < My_file a program will read in the file My_file. In the same way, because we don't want to read all of abinit output we redirect the standard output. Writting >& log redirect all output (standard and error) to a file called log.
If you can't do those redirections, it happens that they are not mandatory. lucky you ! You can just launch abinit and answer the question by copying the lines contained in the ".files" files. For instance in your case 
t11x.files.
I hope this helps.
regards.
