You choose the Server List type when you are loading a dynamic server list from disk rather than including the list in the script.  The script compiler searches for a server list with the specified name and a suffix of .$S$.  These lists are maintained using the Insert Server List dialog and are stored in the Beyond FTP program files directory.  For example, the selection above would produce the command:

            :Server_List: APT Load

All server lists are processed at compile time.  They do not appear in the compiled script file itself, but merely provide a shorthand way of writing scripts.  For this reason, the actions that appear in a compiled script are the result of any server list expansions.  Fully dynamic operation is achieved using the Recompile command.

Note  If you are transferring scripts to remote machines to be compiled and run, you must also send any server list files that are loaded by the script.  Each server list is kept in a file on the Beyond FTP path with the server list name as the root and the suffix $S$.
