I'm trying to use spew to display the contents of a static html page but it returns nothing. Here's my syntax:

<spew "/inc/myinc.htm">

Why isn't it reading the file?

<spew> returns 1 on success, 0 on error; but it *prints* the contents of the file. If you want the contents of the file in a variable for further processing first, use <read>. See the Vortex manual.

Also note that the filename must be absolute, not relative to DOCUMENT_ROOT.
