!File:                  Reference to Another File

  Purpose

    Use the !file command when you wish to create a short entry that
    points to another list of short entries.

  Format

    !file: filename.ngo

    The !file command, like all other bang commands, must be typed
    starting in the leftmost screen column.

  Description

    Most of the time, a short entry will expand to a single long entry.
    It is possible, however, to create a short entry that expands to
    another list of short entries. Unlike a long entry, which can be
    typed directly under its short entry, a list of short entries must be
    placed in a separate file. The !file command is used to specify this
    separate file.

    For example, if the file SHRTLIST.DAT contained a list of short
    entries, we could write a short entry that expanded to that list with
    the following two lines:

           !short: This short entry expands into a list.
           !file: SHRTLIST.NGO

      Notes:    You must specify the compiled object file, which will
                have the .NGO extension.

                Like all ! commands, !file: must be typed starting in the
                first column.
