Par2: IP Driver: Variable file name
2004-12-10 -- Bob Foreman
 
Use the RemoteExecute procedure to pass the value to a variable defined in the 
data manager DLL. 
That variable can prime the filename in the Change Filename embed point in the 
Data Manager DLL.

Use a temporary table, or a configuration file.
OPEN(config)
SEND(config, yada yada)
OPEN(your target file)

>Further, it says in the docs that: "NOTE: The SEND command for the IP

>file. And how can it open the file when it doesn't know what file to use?
