# Scripting Support

This is the scripting interface words for use with retro-unix
or other interfaces providing device type 9 support.

## Rev. 0

The initial version of this I/O device provides support for some
basic interactions.

- obtaining the name of the script
- obtaining the number of arguments passed
- obtaining the arguments passed
- "including" a file (which has RETRO process the file as inuput)

## Rev. 1

In 2020.10, the device was extended to add support for new additional
introspection and control of the `include` process.

- obtaining the current file name
- obtaining the current line number
- direct RETRO to ignore the rest of the current line
- direct RETRO to ignore any remaining lines in the file

## Rev. 2

Adds support for `abort`.
