Directives are special commands that can alter the normal processing of the file.
At any time within the forward.bbs file, you can include the contents of another file, by using the 'include' directive. This allows you to compose a file with common information, and include it easily at several places. Then you only have one place to make any changes at, and less chances of having incorrect information in a section due to forgetting to update several places in the file. The file inclusion directive was added in TNOS 2.02pl2, and can be found in any release after that release. Once the included file is completed, the original file will continue being processed from the place where the 'include' directive was found.
