Hi, in this example the question mark nicely becomes part of the command name: \def\OverFull?{\overfullrule30\points} \OverFull? here it does not work at all: \define\OverFull?{\overfullrule30\points} \OverFull? (... but gives "??" instead) As "\define" seems to be more canonical: Does this result mean it is not recommended to use question marks in command names? Steffen

\setvalue{OverFull?}{...} Perhaps we can have an equivalent \definevalue that also checks for previous definitions. Aditya

here the ? is not part of the command but a delimiter \OverFull ? \def\OverFull#1?{\overfullrule30\points} \OverFull crap ?
