Macros
When creating a macro, first assign it an ID number. If this number is identical to an
existingmacroIDinRAM,theoldmacroisdeletedwhenyouspecifytheMacro
Control Start Definition. Next, start the macro definition, send the contents of the
macro, and stop the macro definition.
Note: Although a macro may be called or executed from within another macro
(nesting), a macro cannot be defined within another macro definition. Each
macro must be defined separately.
Example:
This example creates a macro to print the Wigit Corp. logo, then calls the logo macro
in the body of a letter.
