NAME def and rdef -
define a macro
SYNOPSIS def macname
string_constant rdef
macname expression
DESCRIPTION The command def defines a
macro named macname to be
string_constant. Each time
macname occurs on input, it will be replaced
by string_constant. The definition is made
at the time the command is first read, so the macro can be used
later in the same statement block in which it is defined and can
be redefined within the same statement block.
The command rdef is similar to def,
but the macro assignment is not made until the encompassing
statements are parsed and executed. Also, although
expression is usually a string constant, it
needn't be.
