Thanks! That makes sense.

I'm wondering if there is any way to reconcile this with the need to
call RP first (if used).  Say I'm writing a tmac file that I want to
source at the start of the document, before I call any macros, and
within this file I want to rename NH; I cannot call any ms macros
within this file, because it will be sourced at the start of the
document, before the RP call. Is there any resolution?

Thanks!
