   Which is a plus for environment string.  It 'cleans up' when Paradox   
   closes at the very worst.   
      
   Particularly is the one-line aspect of either of these two.  if not   
   ... then form.open() - rather than declaring file type before being   
   able to work with it.  Also, they are universal to the instance of   
   Paradox.   
      
   Moreover, with environmentstrings you can enumenvironmentstrings() and   
   have instant access to them all to know what is open. (if you use a   
   standard method of naming the environmentstrings you use for flagging   
   this)
