+===== Syntax =====
+  * ''**source** //file//''
+===== Description =====
+Read and execute commands from file //file//.  Source commands may be
+nested to a maximum recursion level of ten.  If file is not an absolute
+path and ''screen'' is already processing a ''source'' command, the parent
+directory of the running ''source'' command file is used to search for the
+new command file before ''screen'''s current directory.
+Note that ''[[termcap]]''/''[[terminfo]]''/''[[termcapinfo]]'' commands
+only work at startup and reattach time, so they must be reached via the
+default screenrc files to have an effect.
+===== Examples =====
+<code>
+source .screenrc-$HOST
+</code>
+Loads a host-specific .screenrc file.  This assumes an environment
+variable named $HOST, which is not standard on all systems.
+<code>
+bind l source $HOME/layout
+</code>
+Binds the sequence ''C-a l'' to load a .screenrc-type file named "layout".
+This might set up the display in particular ways.  Sourcing a file can be
+a more convenient way to run several ''screen'' commands than using
+''[[eval]]''.
