Re: ($DEFINE) seems to stay within the one .pas file

$DEFINE and the corresponding conditional checks are a compile-time
activity and have NO impact on execution time. Of course the code
enclosed in the $DEFINE conditionals does use execution time, but the
$DEFINE conditional checks themselves are done only at compile-time.
