OK, I'll keep an eye on this.

I tested it just now, saved a macro as cal.asc (standard ASCII format), 
called it into WP 6.0Dos again, saved it as CL.WPM, ran the macro "CL", and 
WP compiled it and ran it, no sweat.  Don't know if this will work with all 
macros, but it worked with the Calendar macro supplied with WP.
