Summary:
   The Multiplan Macro command allows you to define a menu structure
that executes user-defined functions. These menus operate identically
to the Multiplan command menu structure (except for clicking the right
mouse button). The SPACEBAR and BACKSPACE keys move the highlight
through the menu options. Pressing the key matching the first letter
of the menu option activates the command (or the mouse can be used to
select the command). If the first letter of two menu options are the
same, the first option in the menu is selected when that letter is
pressed. 
   Menus can have up to eight commands visible. Each command must be a
single word. The single word requirement can be averted by using an
ASCII 255 character (ALT-255) instead of the SPACEBAR to separate words.
This allows commands such as "Get Data" to appear as one command on
the menu.
