[TYPO3] Setting template accessible constants from within Page TSconfig

[Joerg Wagner - DigiLog multimedia]

Hi all,

I am trying to set some constants on a per page basis in the backend that 
later should be used in the frontend to change the rendering of certain 
pages.
According to doc_core_tsconfig 
(manual-doc_core_tsconfig-03-06-2004_10-41-18.pdf,   see very last page)  I 
could do this by switching a page to Type "Advanced" and then entering 
something in the TSconfig field like...

    TSFE.constants.subNav.txt = gaga banane

This should define a constant available to the template TS of the page using 
the construct...

    {$subNav.txt}

But it does not.
Also the TS Object Browser does not show the object under Constants Root as 
described and shown in the last page of  doc_core_tsconfig. The node 
"subNav" just does not show up there.

Any idea what is going wrong?!?
THX.
