View Ref-File7.2.4.12  Metafile drivers                                         TOS

A metafile driver saves all calls directed to it in a @{GEM ignore} 
metafile which lies in the current directory of the application and 
has the name GEMFILE.GEM by default.

If one wishes to alter the name, then directly after v_opnwk call the 
function vm_filename, which can be passed a complete filename with the 
desired path and name.

So that other programs can depict a metafile sensibly, one should call 
the functions v_meta_extents, vm_pagesize and vm_coords.
