Create a function that both macros call:

//---------------- Macro Set in File: "StartupMacros.txt"  
-----------------
   var myParam;

   macro "macroA [a]" {
      for ( i = 0; i < 5; i++ ) {
         myParam = i;
         myFunction();
      }
   }

   macro "macroB [b]" {
      myFunction();
   }

   function myFunction() {
      print( myParam );
   }

-wayne
