Why does webfocus (apparently) generate two completly different filenames, depending on how the progam is invoked?

When I initially open App Studio (8201), navigate to a report in the Environments Detail, right-click and select run, excel output filename is in the format reportname_ccyymmdd_hhmmss. If I open the file and then select run, using either f5 of the little blue arrow, the filename is a cryptic ~abcdef1.xls. I see nothing in the code to handle this and I am new enough to WebFOCUS that I cannot find the control for this
