Hi,

I am trying to understand how to write simple macros. I have read the 
documentation in Help, but without success.

I want to write a simple macro that takes one argument 'x' and inserts 
the text "hello x".

What I try is this:

meta-i = hellomacro            To create a named thing
meta-i m                               Make it a macro
x                                             Variable is x
tab                                          It takes one argument so I 
guess the body comes here??????
hello                                       the text
meta-i #                                  Here I want the argument
x                                              

After having pressed return, i f I now type "meta i e hellomacro tab 
Dan" and then return
I get the text <macro|x|hello<argument|x>
What am I doing wrong?
Dan
