Hm. I expected them to be globally defined as $ScriptUrl, but since the
file is included in a function this does of course not work :-)

Thanks for the hint - since I am using 4.1.2 I did:

        function PrintFile($pagename, $filename)
        {
            $filetext = file($filename);
            foreach ($filetext as $line) {
                print FmtPageName($line, $pagename);
            }
        }

What kind of side-effects are you thinking of?
