>I wonder how much memory we are talking about though? 100k? We are only talking about values like "LOOK_AT_THIS_COOL_DEFINE" and stuff like that. Maybe it comes down to how memory is assigned and it does save a bunch, but I'm thinking it's not really that much.

Hard to say. Try this test:

#define CRLF chr(13)+chr(10)

local lcStr

for i=1 to 100000
  lcStr = CRLF
next

vs.

local lcCRLF, lcStr

lcCRLF = chr(13) + chr(10)
for i=1 to 100000
  lcStr = lcCRLF
next
