the only thing i have used macros for is that lame ICT project we had to do at college.

for computing many peiople used macros but i used a HTA and javascript as i felt it was superior.

I wonder how many here use true macros, not just scripts that hook into applications ... (The programmer definition of a macro is a script modifying the meaning of the code of a programming language. A similarity can be seen with the C preprocessor, but dynamically at run time instead of statically at compile time. The entire EMacs editor is built around the macros facility of the EMacs LISP dialect)
