There are no sacred cows here either. :-)

Apparently, if the entire macro executes, the second occurance
would change the value, just like a variable in a program. Of
course, you have to look at the flow of the macro, since a line
may never execute at all.

If you want to change the value, do it after or just don't
execute Fred's lines. Better yet, rename Fred's COMMO.MAC
COMMONEW.MAC or some other name that you aren't going to use.
Then, cut/paste whatever you like and leave the rest. I've done
this many times. :-)
The biggest change I remember in the recent history of the
program was to leave the main macro active even when other macro
files are loaded with macl. I don't remember which version this
started with.
