;
; Name of Macro:  Load Exit
;
; The following macro will start Lexa Text from the DOS command line, load
; a file called SAVE.TST, enter a few numbers, show the details of the file,
; save it to disk automatically and then exit to DOS again. To start it
; type LE.BAT at the DOS prompt.
;
; On the structure of this file: Any line which begins with an exclamation
; mark is a command. This is a number followed by a tab, a semi-colon and
; then the description of the command from the menu system.
;
; Any plain text will be taken to be normal keyboard input and stuffed
; into the keyboard buffer at the relevant point in the macro.
;
; Each line of the macro is processed until the end is reached and the
; macro stops.
;
; A macro can be passed to Lexa Text from the DOS command line as follows
; for example:
;
;        ltext /m-start.mac
;
; You can in fact first initialise Lexa Text and then carry out the macro
; by typing:
;
;        ltext /i /m-start.mac
;
; Remember in this case to either pass a name for a file to load or to 
; include commands for this in the macro itself.
;
; A macro can have a maximum of 255 lines. Text lines can have a maximum of
; 255 characters.
;
; Do not call a macro within a macro; this causes infinite recursion, i.e.
; your computer will hang.
;
; Note that if you call another programme or shell down to DOS during a
; macro then command is passed away from Lexa Text and you must type 
; something, like "exit",  to get back into Lexa Text again. If there
; are commands/text still left in the macro then these will be processed.
;
; To enter a command from the menu system into a macro file like the present
; one, you press Alt-Return (a mouse click won't do!). Command from the
; following menu systems and picklists can be entered into a macro file:
; 
;        Text editing menu system
;        General edit key picklist
;        Word attribute picklist
;        Directory list menu system
;        Database editing menu system
;
; There is a supplied file MAC_COMM.LST which contains some commands which
; might be necessary but which are not included in any menu or picklist of
; Lexa Text. In addition note that the following words can be entered after
; a question mark to achieve a particular effect.
;
;     ?beep 2	;	make a beep twice (default = 1)
;     ?pause 5	;	pause for 5 seconds (default = 1)
;     ?wait	;	wait for user to press any key
;
; There are a few other special characters which users should be aware of.
; The first is the sequence `\n' which will force a carriage return to be 
; entered into the text, i.e. a new line is begun. The second is the 
; symbol `î' which can be followed immediately by `t' or `d' to enter the
; current time or date respectively (do not, of course, type the inverted
; commas into the macro!). These features can be seen in the following
; lines of the present macro.
;
;     \nPresent time: ît
;     \nPresent date: îd
;
; To activate a macro you can either choose one from a directory listing 
; (press Ctrl-F5 to call directory lister) or you can link a macro with a
; combination of Alt + letter just as you would with a simple text command.
; This is done by opening the Alt macro window with Shift-F2 and then 
; entering the name of the macro file. Note very carefully that this file
; name must be preceded by a question mark for Lexa Text to understand that
; it is a macro file, e.g. ?TEST.MAC. Furthermore Lexa Text searches for
; the file in the current Auxiliary File Directory unless path information
; (drive and/or directory) has already been entered by the user.
;
; Lastly, a word of warning: command macros are powerful tools, but they
; can be dangerous things if they do not function correctly (you can delete
; files with macros or you can ignore warnings about data in system memory,
; for example). Make sure that your macros do exactly what YOU want by 
; allowing for a trial phase with irrelevant data, for instance a temporary
; copy of the data you really wish to process. The best way to try out a 
; macro is to write down all the steps necessary on a sheet of paper and
; try these out manually. When you are sure that the type and sequence of
; commands is correct you can enter them into a macro file.
