Just checked. It should be relative to $reference/objects, and we should 
strip out lines that start with '#', since we allow comments.

Blah. That whole shell-thing is cerainly convenient for prototyping, but 
it would be wonderful if we had some enterprising young soul that rewrote 
these things in C and made them built-ins. It may be wasteful to use C for 
this, but it would make portability easier, and we have all those nice 
routines for validating and building alternate db lists already that do it 
right.

Oh, well.
