Macros: Simple macros for typing commonly used commands and other texts are defined by system parameters M1,M2,...,M9. Macros are defined in the SURVO.APU file as lines of the form M#=<macro_text>. Each macro is activated by pressing the F2:PREFIX key and then # of the macro. Macros of this type are for typing of text only. No special characters are allowed. Key sucros offer much more general possibilities (see SUCROS?) Examples: M1=SCRATCH M7=3.141592653589793 . `!' at the end of macro means activating it as a command.
