I will investigate some more.

		-filename //path/to/some/directory/foo

	..I'm guessing that would cause the output images to be

		//path/to/some/directory/foo.1.sgi
		//path/to/some/directory/foo.2.sgi
		..

	Correct me if I'm wrong.

	I would think you'd get an error, based on the docs.

	I don't think this would be a check box flag, so much as it
	would be an input field that, if left blank, would do nothing,
	but if set to a pathname, would cause the script to automatically
	append "-filename //the/pathname" to the XSI command line.

	This is how all the other submit scripts work; I would think
	the Softimage script would work similarly.
