When a script runs, it automatically adds variables defined in the [Variables] section of the script. The AddVariables command gives you the flexibility to add additional variables stored in other scripts and files and can be used in script.project to load variables and macros for the entire project.
// Add variables from another section in the current script
AddVariables,%ScriptFile%,AlternativeVariables
The following code if placed in script.project will load macros defined in a script "library" for use by the entire project.
