A define placed inside another define can only be used locally by code in the enclosing define. What you are probably referring to is how a define that is global to code in one file can conflict with a define in another file if the names are the same. This is due to all script files are read in to a single block of memory used by the interpreter. To avoid the problem, nest defines when you don't need something to be accessible from in another define in a given file. If a define (ie. function) needs to be global so it can be access in multiple define blocks in a file, avoid using generic names that someone else might have used in another file. One way to avoid name collision is the prepending of your initials to your own defines. -- Cheers! Kevin. http://www.ve3syb.ca/ |"What are we going to do today, Borg?"
