>>>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?

Oh, it's getting in slowly ...
