Note on Macro System 2.0 command PutText$
=========================================
(Date: 8/20/94)
The information provided below is relevant to the users of Macro System 2.0
who own a localized S3a version other than ENG or USA.
The problem has to do with the PutText function which has a hard-coded Psion-B
keystroke to initiate the Bring request in other applications. This keystroke
may be different on non-English machines.
It is very simple to patch MACRO.OPA with a hex editor. If you don't
already have a hex editor, there is one called Dump3a which you can download from CompuServe or src.doc.ic.ac.uk.
To patch MACRO.OPA follow these steps:
1. Make sure your MACRO.OPA is 34,851 bytes in size.
2. Open it in a hex editor and go to location $5F5C.
3. At location $5F5C you should find a letter "b" ($62 hex).
4. Change it to the letter that is used to initiate Bring on your machine.
E.g., Psion-J initiates Bring on German machines. In this case, you would
replace "b" with "j" (lowercase)
The bug will be fixed in the next release of Macro System.
