Command: source file ¶

  Read file as a configuration file, as if its contents had been incorporated directly into the sourcing file. Unlike `configfile` (see configfile), this executes the contents of file without changing context: any environment variable changes made by the commands in file will be preserved after `source` returns, and the menu will not be shown immediately.
