[gradsusr] Is there a way to query which particular file in a template is being used at a given time step?

[Robert Kuligowski]

Jennifer,

     Ah...I remember reading about CHSUB at some point but didn't make 
the connection.  This is great; thanks a lot!

Cheers,

Bob

Since there's no way I know of to get TDEF to handle non-constant time intervals, I tried a kludge of using the query command in the script to grab the time stamp from the names of the individual files in the template as they are used. However, I can't seem to find a way to make the query command do this; 'query file' just returns the name of the file template with the wildcards.
