One Method: using the @M option in EXPEDT and type away to create the macro

You can make your own macros - use the @M command anywhere you want to
start. I recommend adding a comment on each line entered in order to make
sense of the result. Just add the comment after a ! on each line entered
into expedt.

Another Method: use a spread-sheet such as EXCEL
- Edit your macro in a spread-sheet such as EXCEL. If doing constraints and some
types of restraint, you can create simple formula to extend the constraints.
- Copy and paste into a text editor such as the freeware
PFE
Substitute the TABS for spaces (In PFE, highlight a TAB, then press the F3 [or Edit, Replace]
key to replace. Save the file.
- Macro can be imported into EXPEDT using the @r command
