RE: Inline macros or plugin

[Mark]

Chip, thanks for the email...

Unfortunately, both ways won't work. The destination is different.
Also, the second thing won't work because I have several classes that are
true in the same run, so the last class that evaluates to true will
overwrite the variable for all other classes before... 

Thanks,
