Sigh - its really just one number that I have to pass back, but it has to be
done.

Subject: Re: Passing data between filepro tasks
Create a filePro file with a single memo field. From the main file,
lookup-free to create a record, and WRITE it. Pass the record number via
one of the -r* flags. In the child process, write the return info into that
record's memo. When back in the parent, re-read the record, grab the info,
and delete the record.
