 Automatic environment propagation with Ezsteps
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-Turn on ezpropvars or simply give your step name an extension of .sh
-or .csh. The environment variables will be propagated.
+Turn on ezpropvars and environment variables will be propagated from
+step to step. Use this to source script files that modify the
+envionment where the modifications are needed in subsequent steps.
 
 NOTE: aliases and variables with strange whitespace or characters will
 not propagate correctly. Put in a ticket on the
 http://www.kiatoa.com/fossils/megatest site if you need support for a
 specific strange character combination.
