You are probably right, but some aspects of this I don't understand.
1. Why wouldn't there be an error message?
2. I had deleted all calls to the function, only the function remained
3. Each separate macro ran fine with all the calls and function active
4. It only crashed when I put the two macros into one file. At this
point, all the calls had been deleted.
I find the macro wrapper to be confusing, with no documentation on what
happens when you put a program inside a macro.
It turns oout that EXIT is an easier dubugging tool for me anyway.
Thanks for your help.
