If the usual giving the file name from the command line is not
acceptable for your task then you will have to write a program that
reads the users input and writes it to an environment variable of
the parent task.  That is not easy to do but if you are writing your
auxiliary program in Turbo Pascal I have a SetEnv routine in a
public TPU of mine.
