Just like I said, minutes later a soultion occured to me:

#while (defined(SplnFile))    // I still don't know why POV
  #read (SplnFile, tempz)     // expects an undeclared identifier here.
  #declare Rv[cnt-1] = tempz;
  #declare cnt = cnt + 1;
  #undef tempz  // <------ that makes it work
#end

I'd still like to know why the #read statement requires an undeclared
indentifier in this case. I've seen others use declared identifiers -- I
think.

I'm working around a problem I don't understand yet.
