The "source" command works very much like the "source" command ("."
operator) in Bash. It takes an external file (or URL) and reads the
content in line-by-line, executing each line.
So for example, if you have a file named "test.gsh" with contents of:
<snip>
echo "hello"
set a=1
echo "A is now: ${a}"
echo "goodbye"
</snip>
Then you could "source" that file, like:
<snip>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/> source ./test.gsh
hello
A is now: 1
goodbye
</snip>
