The parser would need to be massaged somewhat. I can't remember whether the function that parses define/endef also creates the variable, or whether it just returns a string containing the value and the caller creates the variable; if the former it should be pretty simple. If the latter a bit less tidy. Offhand I'd guess it's the latter. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
