Hi Hans,
I looked into core-buf but this was not what I was looking for.
What I want is a command like this:
\def\defineFOO[#1]%
{\expandafter\def\csname start#1\endcsname##1\csname stop#1\endcsname%
{\startFOO##1\stopFOO}}
and after I wrote
\defineFOO[MYFOO]
I can use the next command
\startMYFOO...\stopMYFOO

Hi all,
I found now a solution for my problem.
Thanks for all messages.
