Function:		execfile
Description:		execfile executes all commands contained in the specified file. Files are only seeked in the current directory. If necessary the suffix '.xpl' is appended. If both versions, i.e. with and without suffix, are available the file with suffix will be processed.

Usage:	`execfile (name)`
Input:
	`name`	string containing the file name

Note:

if the file could not be found, an error is set. It is allowed to use execfile recursivly but not recommended. The depth of recursion is limited by the number of file descriptor which are provided by the underlying OS.

Example:

execfile("startup")

Result:
