I forgot the quotes, it works great now.

Next question, is there anyway to get the name of the file that is being
parsed and #declare it as a text string to be read in that file? So that I
can lable my images with the file name without having to type it in
everytime I render an incremented file name?

Uh, more importantly, is there a fix for the Help file? Mine is almost
unusable as it is...
