   Depends on your code, but in a 'typical' loop probably could use:
   

   echo $post->ID;
   echo $post->post_title;

   Instead of "Stuff" on page, I am trying to get "stuff.php" (actual file name) and im just adding that code into header.php as a template tag.

   as in <?php the_title(); ?>

   if i put
   <?php
   echo $post->ID;
   echo $post->post_title;
   ?>

   into template i get

   1545
   Stuff

   Can you elaborate on how you would get "stuff.php" on page. (actual pretty permalink post page name).
   thanks

   Like this from wp-content/themes/default/index.php

   <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

   the post title is "stuff"
   the post number is "1545"
   but the actual post (page) name in "stuff.php"

   ( i set this up in pretty permalinks )

   Do you know how I can get "stuff.php" actually on page as a template tag ?

   Did you get a chance to look at the_permalink tag I used in the above example?

   yes

   it gives a link to "stuff.php"
   but the words on page are still "Stuff"

   Thanks ever so much. I didnt put 2 and 2 together as I should have...
   what im really hoping to do is just call "stuff.php"

   The <?php the_permalink(); ?> returns http://domain.com/directory/stuff.php

   have you any ideas ?

    In the end I did this with a routine to relate post number to "stuff.php"

    Thanks ever so much for your help.....
