Jim,

>In general my view is that #DEFINEs are more trouble than they're worth.

I disagree.

* WdConstants 

#define wdUndefined  9999999
#define wdToggle  9999998
#define wdForward  1073741823
#define wdBackward  -1073741823
#define wdAutoPosition  0
#define wdFirst  1
#define wdCreatorCode  1297307460

I'd really much rather have wdBackward rather than -1073741823 in my code.

The only downfall to .h files is the VFP doesn't have a real MAKE engine that understands the files that need to be recompiled because of a changed .h file. Fortunately a rebuild all doesn't take too much time.
