File Naming

[Jack Stewart]

Thanks a lot Michael.

If I could figure out how to trigger a procedure anytime a new window is opened or brought to the front, I could easily make it work with a combination of Windowname and info("windowname". I don't know how to detect the presense of a new window regardless of how it was created.
