What is the format for the bb-hosts include directive?      
  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.

  
I know you can use the full path...where would a relative filename be relative from?     
It's relative to the directory where the original file was located.

  
Can it handle variables like $BBHOME?
    
No.

I need to know in order to make the notes script follow the definitions. (assuming the dispinclude and netinclude follow the same principle)
    
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.

Man, that "shortcut" saved me an hour or so...I was able to add 1 line and change another to make it get the info...you rock, Henrik.
