To clarify, if I receive an email of an IBS together of an email of the
package file I can use the Keyword: [File name] to know what filename
to save the ibis file message as. I therefore also need the equivalent
for the package message so that the package file has the right name
for the ibs file to reference. The other keywords I think it will need
are [IBIS Ver],[File Rev],[Date],[Source],[Notes],[Disclaimer].

Actually, I meant that the packages directory is a search path and
does not need to be explicitly mentioned in the file, and therefore
avoid having any seperation characters, thus getting round the OS
issue. This is similar to the include file search in compilers.
