The registration parameters (SF-FILE) get evaluated when Script-fu is  
loaded (or scripts are "Refreshed") and dialog boxes for file browsing  
otherwise use the "last values" with which the function was invoked.  
(In other words, I don't believe it possible to set the filename.)

I don't think that Script-fu needs the functionality to access binary  
files (nor that 'read-byte' and 'write-byte' would be the best  
approach); however, it does seem that the TinyScheme interpreter  
should provide such support.

Filenames in the 'scripts' folder must have the extension ".scm" or  
they are ignored by Script-fu. If you rename your file to "foo.scm",  
all functions defined within it should be available in the console.
