Oops, I see now that my sentence wasn't clear; sorry. What I meant was, by
pasting the macro itself directly into a scene file, the   #include
"Strings.inc"  line could be eliminated from the scene (NOT the #include line
that's *in* the macro.)

I.e., just...

#macro Parse_String(String)
    #fopen FOut "parse_string.tmp" write
    #write(FOut,String)
    #fclose FOut
    #include "parse_string.tmp"
#end

(then the macro invocation(s) later)

It's also a *little* faster to parse this way-- the entire "Strings.inc" file
doesn't have to be pulled from disc or processed.
