Type: Internal (6.0 and later)
Syntax:
INCLUDE= blockname
Purpose: Used in the CONFIG.SYS file to allow you to use the
commands
from one CONFIG.SYS block within another.
Discussion
The INCLUDE command is very useful if you find you are repeating the same
commands within your CONFIG.SYS file. You can put a group of
configuration
commands in one configuration block within the CONFIG.SYS file and then
refer
back to that configuration block from other configuration blocks by using
the
INCLUDE=blockname command. A configuration block begins with a name,
enclosed
in square brackets, followed by a list of configuration commands to be
associated with that block name.
For more information about the INCLUDE command, see Chapter 6, Tips for Advanced Users, in the downloadable book DOS the Easy Way.
Option
blockname - Specifies the name of the configuration block to be
included in
the active configuration block. The INCLUDE command can only be used
within a
configuration block in your CONFIG.SYS file.
Example
To add one block of configuration commands (NORMAL) within another
(SPECIAL),
use the INCLUDE command to name the second block as in the following
example:
