>Chewing it over, I agree with your sentiments George. Compile time is compile time. I just tested #DEFINE k_FILE File('test.tmp') and it too evaluates at run time. I would expect a constant - and I don't think I'll start taking "advantage" of this behaviour, because, to me, it's counter intuitive, confusing, and they might "fix" it at some future date.

Hi David,

I agree totally.
