SCAN commands with live code

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Fraser,

I didn't mention all that on purpose, because when an app tells the 
operating system to open a file in an app, you should just get $0 and 
$1. Everything else only makes it unnecessarily complicated, 
particularly if this appears not to work with Serge's scanning software.
