I was trying to recompile my custom UI shell using conditional defines, and
the following problem appeared:

 ---- in my "Custom.ui" file ----

#define USE_AS_STANDALONE_MACRO FALSE
#include ["..\mac\MyMenu.s"] // My personal utility menus and procedures.
                             // Contains key redefinitions so *must* by
                             // placed *before* the base .ui is included.

 ---- in my "MyMenu.s" file ----

#ifndef USE_AS_STANDALONE_MACRO
#define USE_AS_STANDALONE_MACRO TRUE
#endif

    . . . . .

#if USE_AS_STANDALONE_MACRO
proc main()
    MyMenu()
end
#endif

 ----

When the compiler reached the "#if" statement above I got a "Symbol
undefined" error for USE_AS_STANDALONE_MACRO. How is this possible? Even if
the symbol's scope is only the current source file, my #ifndef block should
have given it a default value. In the immortal words of Vinnie Barbarino,
"I'M SO CONFUSED!!!"
