...hmhhh, you mean completely? ;-)

I have looked into it more than once, but only
picking out, what I thought I would need.

Aha, ok.
So thats the next big step then.
Hope to have some free time and good mood for it soon.

OK, thanks for the hint! :-)

I did the following:

====================================
@SysInclude { langdefs }
@SysInclude { bsf }
import @BasicSetup
macro @REAL { { @Outline @R R } }
====================================

Now that works :-)

I can now think about putting my macros / defs into an external file again.


Your hint was a big help, thanks again.
