INCLUDE FILE
Includes a file into the current buffer, inserting it before the start of
the current line. This is useful to combine files.
Steps:
1. Put the cursor where you want to include the text (typically
on the line you want to come after the included text).
2. Use INCLUDE FILE (or with the WPS keypad, press GOLD-G).
3. Type the name of the file whose text you want to include.

Command Purpose or Effects
---------------------------------------------------------------------
INCLUDE FILE more.dat Includes a file called MORE.DAT (if it exists)
into the current buffer.
INCLUDE FILE *.dat You can use logical names and wildcards in the
file specification. If more than one file
name matches your request, EVE shows a list of
matching files to choose from (see help on
Choices Buffer). You can include only one
file per command.
Usage notes:
o The cursor remains on the current character, as the text of the
included file is copied into the buffer. The text is inserted whether
the mode of the buffer is insert or overstrike, pushing existing text
down.
o Including a file does not change the buffer name, the output file
associated with the buffer (if any), or any settings, such as margins
and tab stops. For example, if the included text contains tab
characters, the tab stops of the current buffer apply.
o Including a file does not rewrap the text. To reformat the included
text according to the margins of the current buffer, use FILL.
o If you use a search list to specify the file or use wildcards for the
device or directory (such as [...]), EVE includes the first matching
file. For example, the following command includes the first MEMO.DAT
file found:
Command: INCLUDE FILE [...]memo.dat
