Wayne,

I apologize for my earlier misguided response.  It seems I saw "not in quotes,
but in a variable?" and, bing!, I thought, "well, sure, you can call a _program_
using a variable!  Not that you'd want to, but...", forgetting all about that
file you wanted to open!

You have been answered correctly by everyone else.
