   Whut?  I didn't try to suggest that.  I just mentioned a macro as a solution   
   to my problem. You know, instead of   
      
   foo EQU ;   
      
   I used   
      
   foo macro args:rest   
   endm   
      
   , which Works like a charm.

   :-) Why did you think I posted this question ?   
      
   I tried a number of methods.  Including using TEXTEQU and putting the   
   semicolon between "<" and ">" (which I imagined should work for EQUates as   
   (double)quotes work for DB).   
      
   Alas, the line was cut off (as shown in the .LST file) at the semi-colon   
   every time. :-|
