Although this caution may not apply to Bruce's environment, I have to
point out that neither FOPEN (dbname) nor FLABELINFO (dbname) are
guaranteed to work correctly:
 
   1) a :RESET or a :FILE command could have been done since the DBOPEN,
      causing the subsequent FOPEN/FLABELINFO (dbname) to get the *wrong*
      (or no) database.
 
   2) The FOPEN could fail for a variety of reasons (e.g., too many files
      open, exclusive access).
 
I've passed a request for an new DBINFO item (to return the
name of the database) to the IMAGE lab.
