GetUnique must be called from CLI only! It returns a number, which
will be unique. I use this for generating Filenames who must be
definitly unique, e.g. in Shell or Rexxscripts. In the shell you
can use it via the backtick (`) characters:
move foo foo.`getunique`
GetUnique need Kickstart V39 - 3.0 or better.
