Bill,
That seems like a good idea for real short stuff that's pretty simple
linear logic. However, with more complex stuff, it's pretty cumbersome. The
macro that I tried to do (to implement an intelligent C-oriented auto-indent)
ended up being about 55 lines long with some fairly complex if statements. I
don't think the 'string' approach would work with that, nor could I read it
after I typed it in (assuming the buffer limit was that large).
In this case, I'll either have to live with the builtin auto-indenting in
Txed, which is better than nothing, or do a bit of C coding and use ARexx as
the interface glue. At least I'll have the ARexx macro as a good prototype
of what I'm trying to do — another advantage to ARexx.
