+ ã|Description:ã%
+The \input markup indicates a file to be included in the source. The
+parameter, a CMS file name with a filetype of TEX, follows \input and a
+separator space; no curly braces are used.
+ Usually the \input markup is used in a "driver" file, which calls parts,
+chapters, etc. to create (or drive) the entire document, such as a thesis.
+At the top of such a driver file is where you would put modifications to
+default format blocks, additional font specifications, and your own markup
+definitions.
+
+ ã|Example:ã%
+In this example, the file is to have a filename of "DRIVER". It calls all of
+the various parts of a 2 chapter document. When formatting, specify DRIVER
+as the filename.

+
+ ã|Notes:ã%
+If you want to input a file with a filetype other than TEX, you can do so by
+adding the filetype after the filename and placing a period between the two.
+For example, to input a filename of DATA and a filetype of LISTING, enter
+
+\input data.listing
+
+ Refer to The TEXbook for more on this markup.
