Indeed, I just tested it (which I didn't before). Anyway, ignore my
"spoon feeding" comment....email humour fails 99.9% of the times.

Whatever you choose to use... scripts, InstantFPC, console app etc, just
make sure that the include file contains the full declaration of a
constant, or a string in quotes. I tested the attached program, and it
works 100%.

I now consider your question answered.
