You can't write macros using the menus.  You have to create a file called
say.. hello.s.  In this file insert the text
proc main()
   Inserttext("Hello World!")
end
Compile it from the menu.  It will ask you if you want to load or execute.
Once loaded it can be executed from the execute macro option in the menu.
The example isn't very useful I know but its a start.  There are many 
xamples
from within the tse/mac tse/ui directories.
