Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

                                  INCLUDE
 
Includes the contents of one configuration block within another. You can use
this command only in your CONFIG.SYS file.
 
The INCLUDE command is one of six special CONFIG.SYS commands used for
defining multiple configurations within a single CONFIG.SYS file. With
multiple configurations, you define a menu that appears when your computer
starts. Each menu item corresponds to a block of commands, or "configuration
block," in your CONFIG.SYS file. For more information about multiple
configurations and configuration blocks, see the chapter "Configuring Your
System" in the MS-DOS User's Guide.
 
Syntax
 
    INCLUDE=blockname
 
Parameter
 
blockname
    Specifies the name of the configuration block to include.
 
Related Commands
 
The INCLUDE command is one of six special CONFIG.SYS commands for defining
multiple configurations. The other commands are for defining the startup
menu, and are as follows:
 
♦  The <MENUITEM> command, which defines an item on the menu.
 
♦  The <MENUDEFAULT> command, which specifies the default menu item.
 
♦  The <MENUCOLOR> command, which defines the color of the menu's text and
   screen background.
 
♦  The <SUBMENU> command, which defines a submenu.
 
♦  The <NUMLOCK> command, which specifies the state of the NUM LOCK key when
   the startup menu appears. (Although NUMLOCK can be used anywhere in the
   CONFIG.SYS file, it is especially useful when defining a startup menu.)
