I want to hide the name of the source file in assemble code. I would
like to be able to look at my code and be able to find out which
source file it came from.

I'm obviously missing something because I've looked at this before
and had no joy.

If in a Basic assembler file I run SWI OS_GetEnv it just says BASIC,
which I suppose that is what it is running but it's of no use to me.

I want the name of Basic assembler file.

Thanks.
