    Wrong, Paul... The "local" directive is EXACTLY the right way to
    make labels local to a macro.

    For example:

        TEST    MACRO
                LOCAL LABEL1

                NOP
                NOP
                GOTO LABEL1
                NOP
        LABEL1: NOP
                NOP

                ENDM
