Re: st: Long arguments passed to programs

["R. Allan Reese" <R.A.Reese@hull.ac.uk>]

I may be missing something here, but it strikes me as odd to 
routinely pass a very long string as an actual parameter.  Surely you 
put the string in a variable or a macro and pass the *name* of that 
object as the parameter.
