Update

	MacroAde is a collection of utilities and macros for
working with WordPerfect 5.1 macros.  This update fixes
some bugs in the AltL.wpm advanced macro menuing system
and enhances it in several respects, all of which are
described in the WHATSNEW file.
	MacroAde's utilities include the following:
	1. MacroLst.exe: translates WordPerfect 5.1 macro (.wpm)
		  files into ASCII text files with .lst extensions.
		  In this form macros can be edited with the user's
		  favorite text editor.
	2. MCompile.exe: compiles macro source files in ASCII
		  text form into .wpm files executable as macros
		  within WordPerfect 5.1.
	3. COMMANDS.ref: an ASCII text listing of keystroke and
		  macro commands used in WordPerfect 5.1 as well as
		  the numeric codes for each keystroke command.
	Four unrelated categories of macros are provided, as
described below:
	1. Editor Control Macros: each of these work in conjunc-
		  tion with a batch file, MacroLst, MCompile to
		  enable the user to use either any external editor
		  or WordPerfect itself to edit macros.
		  A. EDITM.wpm: prompts for name of macro to be
				edited, converts it to ASCII, places the
				file in user's editor, recompiles the macro
				upon exit from editor, returns to place
				where it was invoked in WordPerfect.
		  B. EDITWP.wpm: converts macros to WordPerfect
				documents & brings them up on the full Word-
				Perfect document screen for editing; pressing
				EXIT causes the macro to be recompiled, ready
				for use.
	2. Macro Menu Macros:  menus that pop up over a WordPer-
		  fect document that display lists of the user's
		  macros, with descriptions, and that allow any
		  listed macro to be executed by highlighting it
		  and pressing a specified key.
		  A. ALTM.wpm: a relatively simple macro menuing
				system that uses the list files feature of
				WordPerfect.
		  B. ALTL.wpm: A much more sophisticated macromenu_
				ing system allowing the use of multiple
				customizable menu files and the display of
				macro names and their descriptions on the
				same screen.  The items in a macro menu may
				be modified or deleted right from within the
				macro menu itself.
	3. BRINGBAK.wpm: a really unique macro that works in
		 combination with either of two .exe files to allow
		 you to communicate information from an outside pro_
		 gram (accessed via SHELL) back into WordPerfect.
	4. "On Beyond Z" with ALTZ.wpm: a simple little macro
		 that allows the use of ALT Z plus any one of up to
		 54 other characters that can be entered from the
		 keyboard that are legal in file names.  Overcomes
		 the problem of running out of letters to use with
		 the ALT key to produce easily-invokable macros.
