+ This parameter specifies a command to run when a file is closed.  The command 
+ takes the normal macro substitutions, in addition to %s and %f which will 
+ include the path and name of the closed file, not including the path for the share.
+ 
+ This can be used to make a drop off point where people can put files that need to
