Forms/Update procedure w/ a tps file passed as a parameter

I have a clarion application in which I would like to have call an
update window to the same file via a button from an update window. I
other words I would like an update window to act like a dialog box,
sorta the way vc++ does it.

I can't figure out an easy way to do it since Clarion doesn't have file
handles or file pionters.

The only way I could think of doing it is to pass a file as a parameter
to the Update Window Procedure.

Does anyone know how to pass a file as a parameter to an Update Window
Procedure?

How about via a file handle or file pointer? Are there File Handles
and/or File Pointers in Clarion for windows?

TIA

A view Reference and a position reference may help.

MyViewRef &VIEW
MyViewPosition &STRING !Entry's file position
string

MyViewRef &= BRW1::View:Browse
MyViewPosition &= Queue:Browse:1.ViewPosition
