how to query the file name

Description

I want to query the file name so that I can add a postfix then save it as a new name. But I can't seem to figure out how to cast the current working file name into a variable.

--this returns the filename of your current scene,
--if saved else it will return ""
maxFileName

-- this returns the path to this file
maxFilePath

--so
FullPathtoMyFile = (maxFilePath + maxFileName)

--should do the trick as long as you
--have saved your file somewhere

Thanks.. the maxscript ref file is very hard to get info from. I appreciate it.
