Current Sound File

Information about the currently selected, i.e. the active sound file is stored in the variables CSF (containing the full path of the file) and CSFH (a string of the format "srate channels samples code type mode", indicating the respective properties of the soundfile). If no sound file is active, the variable CSF is empty. See Shell Environment for more details. Sound files opened for write access (/Write) cannot be shared with other users or processes. The sound file management is normally performed by the application STx. All other applications should use the STx APPMSG interface to attach or select sound files. The script library BSF implements a set of functions for using sound files and segments in scripts. Namely the function BSF SELECT may be used to designate a soundfile the current soundfile.
