You could use the includemessage macro, this way a message can reside,
physically in one place (where you can edit it, obviously) and, I guess,
metaphorically ;-) in many, many places. Good for addresses that change.


{includeMessage (102, flEditButton:true, flDgLink:false,
flProcessMacros:true, flExternalEditorButton:true)}


You can just write {includeMessage (102)} if you want where 102 is the
message number...

This is object orientated database stuff. If you can wrap your mind around
it, it's one of the most powerful features of Manila.
