I can't figure out how to do this from reading the manual. I have a macro thus: (this is not real code, just to illustrate what I want to do) fred macro x anothermacro x endm Now, what I want to do is have the "othermacro" be passed the parameter "_x", not just x. In other words, rather than writing fred _x I want to write fred x and have the macro expand to anothermacro _x I can't seem to do it. Can you experts out there help me?
