Wouter:

I'm not sure that I understand what you want... But if you just want
to type

    procedure (name)

and have MPASM translate it to

    name macro

then you can do it with the following #define:

    #define procedure(name) ((name) macro)

The corresponding #define for "endproc" is simply:

    #define endproc(name) (endm)

Depending upon the way you indent your "procedure" and "endproc"
invocations, you may need to add the following to the top of your
source file:

    LIST FIXED=0

I hope this helps... But, again, I really don't think I understood
your question.
