If I am not mistaken, the program is launched as if you had typed in the
command line "program-name file-name". You should be able to get the file
name as the second command line argument (or argv(1) in C parlance). I
don't have SF right in front of me here, but I think you should be able to
get the argument without much trouble.

It seems that there is an ARGC and ARGV in Swift, but they're not
documented in the FPM or Swift User's Manual, so you'll have to
interrogate your system source to figure out how to use them!
