* 1
* this macro can be used to get irregulary spaced tabs.
* write a dot in the first line of the window for every tab stop
* that you would like to use

* for use together with the following macros
* 2
"Save current Position/P" {

* 3
* jumps back to the last saved position with macro 2
* the stack can hold the last eight positions
"Back to Position/B" {

* 4
* moves the current selection to the position / selection
* previously saved with macro 2

* 5
* copies the current selection to the position / selection
* previously saved with macro 2

* 6
* draw a line in the menu

* 9
* select all lines in the file

* 10
* move all lines in the current selection four positions to the left
* by deleting the leftmost characters. do nothing for empty lines.

* 13
* replace the shortcut to the left of the cursor position with
* the appropriate string. to define shortcuts write them at the
* top of the window followed by the string to insert. use one line for
* each shortcut. separate string and shortcut by a blank.
* examples: (define them without an asterik at the start of the window)
* ilm I like Macintosh
* gb Good bye
*
* if you type 'ilm' and then press command-g this will replace
* 'ilm' with 'I like Macintosh'. 'gb' will be replaced by 'Good bye'
