Dear David and CVR,

I knew what \makeatletter and \makeatother do, but was doing some
experiments. My main concern was not LaTeX failing to understand the \def
command, but why the first error I got was about c@\@captype being not
defined. Reading latex.ltx, I felt that it should have been about the
counter \@captype not being defined. Perhaps my understanding of the
sequence of operations of \caption which I got reading latex.ltx is only
partially correct.

Thanks, I did not know that.

My apologies, if my message gave you that impression.

With regards,
