  Excuse me I missed your point and gave wrong reply.
  Yes I found the command does supply a wrong ERROR message 
  (by some reason you didn't point this out).
  So I found
  for macro

  h.C:
  { printf(" Hello, Wordl!!!\n");}

 root 2.21/08 gives:

root [2] .x h.C
Error: No symbol h() in current scope  FILE: LINE:0
*** Interpreter error recovered ***
NULL

  I believe there is no Windows specific here and this bug should be present
for any UNIX machine as well.
  Since I have no 2.21.08 on my UNIX I would loike people on list try this
to confirm.
  With my best regards,
                                  Valery
