Hm.

I guess my problem is that I am invoking the macro generating the variable
list ("!list1) by executing an external syntax file and for some reason that
does not work (directly writing it out as you did does):
Is there some obvious mistake in here? Can you save the syntax to a separate
file and try to include it as I did?
Thanks!
Sven
