Indeed. In fact both the ERR_MESS_NO_DISK and NO_DISK_MSG can be defined in trhe define file nicht var?

Defines can be fun:

#DEFINE if_if_if_you_stutter   ConditionsTab.Affliction = "Stammer"
#DEFINE e_e_e_endif            Endif
#DEFINE Its_cos_of_yer_nerves  = MESSAGEBOX("Patient suffers from a Nervous Condition", O_O_O_O_K, "Nervous Condition")

If if_if_if_you_stutter 
    Its_cos_of_yer_nerves 
e_e_e_endif
