- 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.
