[Therion] How to include Metapost code from outside files

[Bill Gee]

Hi Martin -

That is exactly what I tried.  It does not work from inside a layout/endlayout 
pair. 

I also tried it outside any enclosing pair and got this error:

===========
therion 5.3.13
initialization file: /usr/local/etc/therion.ini
reading ... done
configuration file: thconfig
reading ...
therion: error -- CustomSymbolsCode.txt [2] -- unknown configuration command -- 
code
writing xtherion file ... done
=============

Is there a more complete thconfig file that shows how this is done?  Where 
exactly in the thconfig file does the input line go?

Thanks - Bill Gee
