I am writing an INIT/cdev combo where the cdev and an INIT 
installed patch need access to the INIT file to read 
resources.  Short of hardcoding the file name, how can I 
get the name of my INIT file from during INIT time for 
use later?  Getting the file number is easy, but how
do I use that number to re-open the file from inside a 
patch or cdev?  I can't find any file opening routines
that take this number as an argument, nor can I find any
routines that take this number as an argument and return
the name of the file.  I know this must be possible since
a number of cdevs seem to do this.

Thanks in advance,
