No, that's wrong.

You have to create another one. And you'll have to change the file format for 
every new parameter you will add in the future (to add the '@').

I didn't say removing. When @para is used, you'll have to transfer the whole 
listing to ERT for rc1 and friends, and include para (without the @).

There's no other possibility IMO.
