I don't really use the shell commands, so I have no idea.
Maybe use some program that would be super obvious, and just run a test scene.

Yeah - I had a question about that too in some other thread that I can't find
(because Google doesn't fully index our site, in spite of Chris Cason's many
attempts to ensure they do)

I'm guessing you're going to have to find some workaround.

I also have no idea if exposing the full filename path to the user has been
implemented in Willaim Pokorny's yuqk fork...
