Do you have any setting in mind that you would want to put into such a system-wide config snippet for nano? (But in my opinion, the machine admin should not configure anything in a personal tool like an editor.) However, even with such a config snippet mechanism, the problem that --rcfile can be used to avoid (the main nanorc file including syntaxes that I don't want) cannot be solved. Anyway, if you think that an included file should be allowed to contain any setting and option, not just syntax definitions, the place to post such a request is Savannah: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=nano Benno
