 i was wondering if it is possible to make def's unique by simply
 appending a number to the macro definition, e.g.
                \def\dummy_macro{..... 
                 \def\dummy_macro2{......

   LaTeX  does not seem to like the second def when it used  in the
   body of the text arguing that the definition of  dummy_macro2 does
   not exist. any suggestions or ideas?
                                        thanks
                                         vince
