 .Propagate environment to next step
 ----------------------------
 $MT_MEGATEST -env2file .ezsteps/${stepname}	  
 ----------------------------
+
+Automatic environment propagation with Ezsteps
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Simply give your step name an extension of .sh or .csh. The environment variables will be propagated.
+
+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.
+
+.Example of auto propagation
+---------------------------
+[ezsteps]
+step1.sh export SOMEVAR=$(ps -def | wc -l);ls /tmp
+# The next step will get the value of $SOMEVAR from step1.sh
+step2.sh echo $SOMEVAR
