|    Using "source"    |
|    18 Jun 15 19:39:37    |
      Hello All,              The "source" command is much like the "call" command in DOS batch scripting.              However, as you've seen, the way you send variables to "source" is a little        different, but much like this command in DOS:              call batch.bat %1 %2 %3 %4 ...              With "source", however, the shell stops the first script from running until        the second script (the one being called) is finished. It's really nice when        you're doing things in a sequencial (sp?) order like I am doing in the main        script.              --Sean              ...
