optional parameter. The tag form is:

Required Parameters:
- fileLocation="File Path" where "File
Path" is the relative path to the file that you wish to
include at the location of the tag.
Optional Parameters:
- verifyFileExistence="Yes" or "No"
where "Yes" indicates that the file to be included
must exist and an error will be displayed if it does not exist,

Example Usage and Output
<mgiFileInclude fileLocation="logo.txt">

a company logo and slogan on every page of a web site. The logo.txt
file consists only of the following (i.e. since this file is
being included on an HTML page, there is no need to have HTML,
HEAD, and BODY tags):
<P ALIGN=CENTER><IMG SRC="logo.gif" WIDTH="475" HEIGHT="45"
ALIGN="BOTTOM" ALT="Example Company"></P>
<H1 ALIGN=CENTER>Buy Our Stuff!</H1>
