Tyler,

In a bash/sh script you would use the "." operator to essentially include
another script inline.  In csh/tcsh you would use the source command.

So, a persons .bash_profile might include the line:

. /home/fgs/setup.sh

This would run each of the lines in setup.sh, thus setting the environmet
variables in the current context.  If run directly (ie. in a subshell)
it will have no effect on the environment of the parent shell.

Best regards,
