This is not necessarily a bad idea (although I wouldn't do it like that) However, now that .SECONDEXPANSION is optional it's almost a per-target capability (or would be, if we had a way to turn it off again...) That implies that this variable would need to be set differently for different targets. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
