Aha, that's what I'm looking for.  Since my familiarity with German is 
several decades behind me, I'll hope that they have a version for 
English.  I'll check out that URL.  Thanks!

JB> it works here. EG,

JB> #include 
JB>  main(){
JB>    puts("You "
JB>  #ifdef FOO
JB>         "defined"
JB>  #else
JB>         "didn't define"
JB>  #endif
JB>         " FOO");
JB>    return 0;
JB>  }

Do you have any idea why there seems to be two different versions of 
"ifdef"/"if defined"?

NH> For that matter, does anybody know how to get "help" in gcc.
NH> Is there a user manual?

JB> there's a manpage. and also the "libc" manpages for each function...

JB>  man gcc
JB>  man 2 intro
JB>  man 3 intro

I tried the first but the output seemed skimpy to me.  I wonder if the 
idea you cited above has useful (English) help?

JB> if you installed info you can also do

JB>  info libc / info gcc

That's another one that I'll have to look into.
