Thanks, that is useful. But is it possible to put this \Needs
command in my .cfg file somehow? The reason is, I have one common
.cfg file, and if this can be used in .cfg file, then I do not
have to edit all my .tex file and add this command to each. I
have 1,000's of small .tex files, and they all use the same .cfg file.
