  include FILENAME
or
  directory DIRNAME

The latter reads all files in the directory, except
- files beginning with a dot .
- files ending with a tilde ~
- files ending with ",v"

The filenames in DIRNAME are sorted alphabetically before being read.

It's relative to the directory where the original file was located.

No.

You could take a shortcut, and instead of reading FILENAME directly, 
you'd just read the output from "bbhostshow FILENAME". That takes care
of the include+directory handling.
