[IDV #BDW-276057]: How to make dynamic *.xidv file

Hi Howard,

The only thing you can do is to select a new data source. You can do this when
you File->Open a bundle file or at the command line with the -setfile argument
(run idv -help for details), or through in an isl script with the setfiles 
command:
