The operator that is used to catenate various objects together into one 
string is two periods (i.e. ..) An example of this syntax would be:

i=1
savefemmfile("c:\\temp\\junk" .. i .. ".fem")

In this example, where the variable i is used to index the file number, 
and the file is saved to c:\temp\junk1.fem
