I often define my own variables to set tunable features easily.  I will have to 
double check that I have not used any overlaping letters in defining the names.

For example,

Would MOSDOCTMP be confused with PFTMP?

Would MOSPRINTER be confused with PFPRINTER?

Would PFGLOB be confused with MYGLOB?

This could really cause problems.  I am glad you noticed, this could be another 
source of strangeness that needs to be investigated at times.

Thank JP.
