Just realised that this can be improved by using the SaveRun function
instead of the plain Run function. SaveRun will save the file first then
execute the command, so no need to click on the Save icon first.

This won't work for newly created texts until they have been saved, ie
there must be a valid filepath.

Yes, that's what Run() does. It passes its argument through OS_GSTrans
then sends the result to Wimp_StartTask.

Glad to hear it's found useful.
