// Because Ethereal, instead of giving an error if no save file name was
// specified, just doesn't bother opening a file to which to save the
// packets, and because, if there's no file open, it just discards the
// packets, rather than saving them to a temporary file, or storing them in
// memory.

Could it, at least, keep the last file name given ?  I hate to retype
the file name and number of packets every time I start a new capture.
