This morning the three macros I have worked fine.  I made no change that I
can think of and tonite when I came home, the macros no longer work.

Here is a sample error before I commented out the lines in .slrnrc which
said 'interpret....'

$ slrn
slrn 0.9.6.3 (Oct 12 2000 21:55:57)

Reading startup file /home/ajlewis2/.slrnrc.
loading /home/ajlewis2/News/macros/onekey-score.sl
S-Lang Error: Undefined Name: implements is undefined
S-Lang Error: Undefined Name: called from line 87, file:
/home/ajlewis2/News/macros/onekey-score.sl
slrn fatal error:
/home/ajlewis2/.slrnrc: Error encountered processing line 478
interpret /home/ajlewis2/News/macros/onekey-score.sl

Any idea why 'implements' is now undefined when it worked before.  

Last night I did try compiling 0.9.6.4 I believe it was.  I saved the slrn
executable for this version and put the executable from .4 in /usr/bin and
tried it.  The macros failed so I commented them out. Then I tried to
rebuild a thread and that failed as it did previously with the executable
from the rpm.  So I deleted the new version and put the old one back in
place.  I uncommented the lines in .slrnrc to interpret the macros and it
worked fine.  

It's obvious that something has changed.  I have rebooted the system this
evening and I had not rebooted last night or this morning.  So it would seem
that whatever changed might have happened when I rebooted.  

Thanks for any light on this subject.
