OK, Ik wil, look for a different solution.

Still interested in a solution.

Earier on my page I already named $File. It would be strange to have to
do this twice or more times. If I change the file I would rather do it
in only one place instead of 2 or more.

Now this is usefull and I will look into it. As far as I can see I would
only need to do a define once and it will be used all over the place.
That is exactly what I want.
