I'm still resorting to some xbase commands for my application, and I need to use macro substitutions (e.g., copy to &xxx DBMEMO3). What happens to these in a compiled and deployed program? Does a deployed executable contain some basic dbase command interpretation functionality -- or will the macro substitution just not work? I'm sure I read about this somewhere a long time ago, but I can't find anything in the how-to, docs, etc. dds

In earlier versions of dBASE, the use of a macro for a whole *command* didn't work ... but that works in 5.x and 7 ..
