are user defined filenames possible?

[Paul Gr]

hi ben,

You could also use a utility called EKick 
(http://step.psy.cmu.edu/scripts-plus/).
This utility translates your ebs-script on the fly and has an option for 
specifying name and location of the data file. A small readme is supplied 
within the zip-file.

best,
paul
