Filenames and External Commands
When using external commands to handle files, it is necessary for those
files to have names without, i.e. sales_video.mpg not sales video.mpg.
One convention is to use underscores in place of spaces.
For more information about External Control Commands see,
External Control Commands on page 119, and for network
configuration, see Network Settings on page 77.
