[Equest-users] using ##FILEPREFIX command

[Joe Huang]

Michael,

I've been able to use the ##fileprefix macro command, but you have to experiment to find 
whether a forward or backwards slash works in setting the path on your machine.  What I 
find in my collection of input files have it both ways, e.g.,

##fileprefix     c:/protot~1/com(00)/MdOffice/

or

##fileprefix c:\Shared\doe2ep\doe2ep_ex.14\TMF\
