Hi,

thanks, but this was just the simple version, I tried to use this in a
recursive macro where the string parameter gets 'eaten' one character at the
time.  I've already got a work around by not using a parameter but a global
#declare.  Just thought I'd better put in a bug report so others would not
spend the same time figuring out why their macro doesn't work.
