>>>It would show "10" instead of "My_Constant" in the source. Is that a big security issue? Enough to not put it in a variable? It can only be done for constants, so constants are the only things that would be protected. Is that a valid security reason to use DEFINE?

>>You got it wrong. When your source code is Re-foxed, the constants will remain as is (I'm guessing), e.g. you would not get your code as it was written originally with #DEFINE.
