[vtkusers] Paraview client. Passing a variable from the program that is used to start the server back to Paraview client.

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Thomas,

This question is really better suited to the ParaView users list: 
paraview at paraview.org; please post it on that list instead. Like the VTK 
list, you must subscribe before you can post messages; you can do that 
here (http://public.kitware.com/mailman/listinfo/paraview) is you have 
not already done so.
