Hi Michael,
    You can find the path/name in SASHELP.VEXTFL
however, SAS doesn't seem to provide a way to identify
which FileRef link is the one that goes with your edit window.
Be aware that for the same window the FileRef will randomly
change on you(6.12 & 8.0), so the straight answer to your
question is NO, but maybe some "scheme" could be used that
would correctly give you the correct entry *most* of the time.

I too hope some knows the magic place to find the current program
name, but I think this has been asked before, ...what-say-gurus?
