Yes; but, as I understand your suggestion, that would require me to
pass the original filename as a parameter.  What I''m trying to find
out is whether the original filename is somehow available for use as a
part of the file upload mechanism without my having to pass it as a
parameter.  If it turns out that it''s not available within the file
upload mechanism; then, I can pass it.  It''s just that I don''t
want to
go that route if there is an easier way.

Thanks for the input.
