EXECUTE other rule files, which just does what that rule file does in a separate process;
IMPORT other rule files, which basically inserts those rules into your current rule file;
OPEN "some_lexicon.txt" (as) FILEHANDLE to load the contents of that file into a lexicon stored against the file-handle;
WRITE FILEHANDLE (as) "some_output1.txt" to save the current state of the lexicon to the specified file, but leave the handle open;
CLOSE FILEHANDLE (as) "some_output2.txt" to close the file-handle and save the lexicon to the specified file.
