Randall:

The way includes are done is with a "@" sign at the beginning of a line,
followed by the name of the file. Note that you can't have *any* spaces in
front of the "@" sign. For example,

PRO FXBREAD, UNIT, DATA, COL, ROW, NOSCALE=NOSCALE, VIRTUAL=VIR, $
DIMENSIONS=DIMENSIONS, NANVALUE=NANVALUE, ERRMSG=ERRMSG, $
NOIEEE=NOIEEE
@fxbintable
ON_ERROR, 2
ON_IOERROR, HANDLE_IO_ERROR
<etc>

inserts the contents of the file fxbintable.pro (in !PATH) into the program at
that point.
