Thanks Jamie that does get me a little farther along.  However, it seems 
I have to "hard code" the value of this field, or use one of the limited 
number of variables it allows me to use for replacement.  Unfortunately, 
sn should get the value of the user's last name, which is not one of the 
replacements listed in the documentation.  I was hoping to specify this 
within the batch file.  Right now the closest I can come is to use 
${USER} to insert login name or ${REAL} to insert the user's entire real 
name. 

This will get me going for now, but if you know of a way to do what I 
need, please let me know.  Otherwise, I can probably hack it so that 
${LAST} is an option, but I'd have to do that again each upgrade. 

Thanks!
