That will do the work, but as a programmer I must say that I do not
really like this technique, since it involves copying the same
information to a large number of places. If I want to change information
common to all occurrences, I can of course do a replace-string, but
still...

In any case, thanks for the tip! I learned something new, and may have
to resort to using the approach anyway.
