| 16 | The "include" statement can be used to include the contents of one file |
| 17 | inside another. |
| 18 | <BR><PRE> |
| 19 | <B>include "</B><I>filename</I><B>"</B> |
| 20 | </PRE><BR> |
| 21 | causes input to be read from the specified <I>filename</I>. When the end |
| 22 | of that file is reached, reading of input resumes from the original file |
| 23 | after the include statement. |
| 24 | </P> |
| 25 | <P> |
| 26 | If the <I>filename</I> cannot be found as is, and it is not an absolute |
| 27 | path, and if the environment variable MUPPATH is set, Mup will search |
| 28 | for the file in each directory listed in MUPPATH. On Unix systems, the |
| 29 | directories are separated by colons. On systems with DOS-like file naming |
| 30 | conventions, they are separated by semicolons. |
| 31 | The MUPPATH may be useful if, for example, you have a number of "boilerplate" |
| 32 | files that you want to include in lots of songs. You can put them in |
| 33 | some directory and set MUPPATH to list that directory, then any Mup |
| 34 | files you have can refer to them. |
