[ic] Extended Value Access and File Upload

[interchange-users@interchange.redhat.com (Mathew Jones)]

unless you changed the outfile name below, the file will have been 
written to a file named junk.upload. Take a browse through your user 
directory for that file...

[value-extended name=newfile
outfile=junk.upload yes="Written." no="FAILED"]
