Good point! Or, more generally:

HOW, with a standard point-and-squirt UI, do you invoke one specific
program with two specific data files? Sometimes you can drag two files
onto one program, but usually that involves two separate invocations
of the program, once for each. In theory you could have a concatenator
app, but how do you tell it when you're finished one concatenation and
want to start another? Time delay? Seems clunky and prone to doing the
wrong thing.
