That part I can handle on my own and I've already started looking at
it.  It's really not that difficult, but requires a few advanced TECO
"tricks" (ER with substituting the contents of a q-register in the
text of the filename argument).

You don't do it like that. You create the command in the main buffer,
with all the glory you want. You then store it in a q-register, and then
you execute it.

That's one way you can do it, but not the only way and the particular
trick I'm talking about is irrelevant to what you're describing.

Please tell me of another way. I have not realized one yet. (Honestly, always curious to learn new stuff.)

I wrote my first TECO programs in 1979, so I already have that covered.
