Attachmate EXTRA! Basic Question

Anyone here know Extra Basic?

Here's my problem:

I am creating a drop down list by searching through several folders for any macros that are stored there. The macros are stored in an array and then presented via a dropdown list. The user then picks one of the macros from the list.

I then take the name of the macro that was selected and use the Shell command to run the macro:

Code:

---

macroname = "ebrun.exe " + Filenames(FileChosen)
rc& = Shell (macroname,4)

---

The problem is that in the macros that are run via the Shell command, I can't use the $Include statement. I want to include a header file that contains global variables. If I add the Include, the macro doesn't run. Without the Include, it works fine.

Anyone know why this is?
