The FNAME Command:
- The FNAME command is used to form or parse file names.
- The component parts AREA=, NAME=, EXT=, and OPT= are put together to form a full file name. For example:
```
nM> fname label=fullname area=dat name=airports ext=csv opt=sys
nM> res fullname
41S: FULLNAME        = /home/burdell/nxm230/nxm/sys/dat/airports.csv
```
- It is also possible to go in reverse and extract AREA= (in this case area gets the directory path), NAME=, EXT=, and OPT= from a full file name. For example:
```
nM> fname label=fullname area=mypath name=myname ext=myext opt=myopt /parse
nM> res my*
 3S: MYEXT           = csv
 8S: MYNAME          = airports
41S: MYPATH          = /home/burdell/nxm230/nxm/sys/dat/
```
- Why use this? -- To improve portability between Linux and Windows by not including path delimiters!
- The FILE NAME function may also be used to form platform-agnostic file names.

X-Midas Users Take Note:
Like most commands in NeXtMidas, the `FNAME` command can be used with both Midas files and non-Midas files alike.
