Ah, the name of the current source file is always 'sourcefilename'. No matter

where in the command line it is - or if it is a command line at all.

That's weird, on my computer, sourcefilename doesn't return the filename at all. It returns the number 13:

Code:

Trace:

$ ./scriptname.fs

Program: 13
