 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.
