Hello,

  I have written a custom M-code to flash an image with a projector for an
SLA printer. The script is in bash. It basically just runs a command called
feh with a geometry and filename. The filename is currently a combination
of a hardcoded directory/base filename and layer number. It then kills the
process after a specified amount of time.

  If I am reading the docs correctly, I see that I can only pass a P-- code
and an Q-- code from my g-code. I am able to do that quite well with the
script. The P-- code is the time. The Q-- is the layer number. The Q--
number is allowing me to cycle through all the images in my SLA images
directory.

  What I would like to do is pass it the directory and base file name in
addition to those two values so that there is no hardcoding of paths. I
*think* I can pass shell environmental variables to the custom M-code. Is
this correct? If that is the case, I should be able to just build a small
function into the GUI to select the image directory.
