MacroAde v3.0 by Performance Sciences Registration $ 25.00
WORD JUL91 KANE { edit keywords in caps here }
FILES: mcroade3.sdn
Update
MacroAde is a collection of utilities and macros for
working with WordPerfect 5.1 macros. This update fixes
some bugs in the AltL.wpm advanced macro menuing system
and enhances it in several respects, all of which are
described in the WHATSNEW file.
MacroAde's utilities include the following:
1. MacroLst.exe: translates WordPerfect 5.1 macro (.wpm)
files into ASCII text files with .lst extensions.
In this form macros can be edited with the user's
favorite text editor.
2. MCompile.exe: compiles macro source files in ASCII
text form into .wpm files executable as macros
within WordPerfect 5.1.
3. COMMANDS.ref: an ASCII text listing of keystroke and
macro commands used in WordPerfect 5.1 as well as
the numeric codes for each keystroke command.
Four unrelated categories of macros are provided, as
described below:
1. Editor Control Macros: each of these work in conjunc-
tion with a batch file, MacroLst, MCompile to
enable the user to use either any external editor
or WordPerfect itself to edit macros.
A. EDITM.wpm: prompts for name of macro to be
edited, converts it to ASCII, places the
file in user's editor, recompiles the macro
upon exit from editor, returns to place
where it was invoked in WordPerfect.
B. EDITWP.wpm: converts macros to WordPerfect
documents & brings them up on the full Word-
Perfect document screen for editing; pressing
EXIT causes the macro to be recompiled, ready
for use.
2. Macro Menu Macros: menus that pop up over a WordPer-
fect document that display lists of the user's
macros, with descriptions, and that allow any
listed macro to be executed by highlighting it
and pressing a specified key.
A. ALTM.wpm: a relatively simple macro menuing
system that uses the list files feature of
WordPerfect.
B. ALTL.wpm: A much more sophisticated macromenu_
ing system allowing the use of multiple
customizable menu files and the display of
macro names and their descriptions on the
same screen. The items in a macro menu may
be modified or deleted right from within the
macro menu itself.
3. BRINGBAK.wpm: a really unique macro that works in
combination with either of two .exe files to allow
you to communicate information from an outside pro_
gram (accessed via SHELL) back into WordPerfect.
4. "On Beyond Z" with ALTZ.wpm: a simple little macro
that allows the use of ALT Z plus any one of up to
54 other characters that can be entered from the
keyboard that are legal in file names. Overcomes
the problem of running out of letters to use with
the ALT key to produce easily-invokable macros.
