A-Shell Reference

INCLUDE=filename

Example:  INCLUDE=f:\miame\trmdef.ini

INCLUDE is the equivalent of the C #include or the ASB ++INCLUDE directive. It forces the inclusion at that point of another file which itself contains any of the valid configuration file commands, with the exception of INCLUDE itself.

The typical use of this command is to reference a file containing TRMDEF statements, as shown in the example above.

Another way you might use this command is to separate the statements which may differ from one user to another from the main body of miame.ini.

Note that most users can get by without including a trmdef.ini file, since A-Shell will, by default, generate names of the form TSKAAA, TSKAAB, etc., for the jobs and terminals as needed. trmdef.ini is only relevant if you want to predefine certain job and/or terminal names to be associated with specific terminal devices.

The INCLUDE command may replace the SERIALsp command as the first line of the file (provided that the file being included starts with a SERIAL line. This is useful if you want to have identical miame.ini files across many systems (each referencing a separate file for the SERIAL information, i.e. INCLUDE=SERIAL.INC.)
