 CONSTANT.BI File
 
 ■ Visual Basic comes with an include file called CONSTANT.BI. This file
   defines frequently used constants, such as:
 
         TRUE = -1
         FALSE = 0
 
 ■ The ControlPanel constants are also defined in CONSTANT.BI.
   See: ◄ControlPanel Constants►
 
 ■ To use the constants in CONSTANT.BI, you must use the $INCLUDE metacommand
   at the beginning of each module that you want to have access to the
   constants. For example:
 
         ' $INCLUDE: 'CONSTANT.BI'
 
   See: ◄$INCLUDE Metacommand►
 
 ■ To easily view include-file text, choose Include File from the View
     menu.
 
 ■ If you need only a few definitions from the CONSTANT.BI file, you can
   reduce your memory overhead by creating either:
         • A subset of this file
         • Your own include file
