I am doing this at the moment, but as I understand it, this will only let 
me handle consecutively numbered files.  If I have, say, three films -

         1024-01.TIF to 1024-36.TIF
         1025-01.TIF to 1025-36.TIF
         1026-01.TIF to 1026-36.TIF

I have to initiate three separate Vuescan  jobs.  I would like to leave a 
PC running overnight to process up to 200 frames at a time, without having 
to rename all the scans to do it.
