- It should also be made clear that other macros besides init are available.
- Basically, anything you can do from the shell or in ftp, you can do with a
- macro. I didn't know about the default deal, though.. that's cool.
- For example, I have a macro to get and more a file called "vf" and a
- recursive directory macro called "dr" and one to create a0 length
- message called "msg". You can use things like $1 in a macro to mean the
- first argument passed to the macro...
-
- Hope this helps a little... BUt remember that it only scratches the
- surface of .netrc capabilities..
