Hello again, So far very little luck, but I seem to be making progress. See my comments after the macro.. Thanks a bunch. After this, I will be a little bit more familiar with macro's.
//THIS MACRO GENERATES CODE FOR THE STAR VNC-20

PROMPT[TX="DO YOU WANT TO OPEN THE FILE AFTER POSTING IT?

MT1="C:\\sm9\\turn\\atsmf\\star.tmp", SH=0, DC=0, ST=0, DT=0,SP=9]
IF(#YESNO=0)
GOTO(LABEL)
ENDIF
//SHELL[CMD_LN=STRTMP(C:\\sm9\\turn\\star\\%#FILE_NAME), WA=0, DP=0]
//ORIGINAL
//SHELL[CMD_LN=STRTMP("C:\\sm9\\turn\\star\\%FILE_NAME"), WA=0, DP=0] //NEXT

//SHELL[CMD_LN=STRTMP("%FILE_NAME"), WA=1, DP=1] //TRYING IT EXACTLY AS FRED

SHELL[CMD_LN=STRTMP("C:\windows\notepad.exe %FILE_NAME"), WA=1, DP=1] //AS

@LABEL
#YESNO=""

#EXTN=""
Everything looks like it works fine until the SHELL command, then that is
where it doesn't work correctly.
The first and second shell, it calls up a DOS box and says "bad command or
file name".
The third shell, the same thing.
The fourth shell, I get the notpad to come up, but it looks for my
file on the "c" drive, not in the directory like I called out for in the
first shell.
If no file exists, then it asks me if I would like to create one.
Thanks, Rick

The shell command will work as expected in Win95. Check for proper use of
quotation marks within the STRTMP syntax. They were absent in the previous
example.

ok, I have tried everything to get the shell command to work for me. Now it
is Monday, and I am thinking that possibly it is my os that is the problem.
I am running win95, would that be a problem with the shell command to open
up my text file?? Any words of advice or encouragement??
Thanks, Rick

Ok, here is what I've got. It's derived from Andy's and Dan's posts:
There are two macros; one codes the file and the other opens it.
Assign each to it's own button.
The first one (need to insert your machine and template files in the CODE
command):
STRING:#SHAPE
#SHAPE=SHPFILE()
STRING:#CODEFILE
#CODEFILE=STRIP_EXT(#SHAPE)
CODE[FN=STRTMP("%CODEFILE.NC"), MS1="<your machine file.smf>",
MT1="<your template file.tmp>", SH=1, DC=0, ST=1, DT=1, SP=9]
STRING:#LASTFILE
#LASTFILE=STRTMP("%CODEFILE.NC") //this variable is used by the second mcl
and the second:
SHELL[CMD_LN=STRTMP(%#LASTFILE), DP=1, WA=1]
Obviously, the second macro is dependant on the first. It will not run
without a value for #LASTFILE.
If the two are combined, then the file will automatically open after coding
as in Andy's example but without the yes-no prompt.
Enjoy the weekend
Pete

This is an example of the macros i use to post code:-
This macro will open the code file in an editor after posting it.
//THIS MACRO GENERATES CODE FOR THE CINCINNATTI SABRE 2000 VERTICAL M/C

If you setup file associations in explorer the code file will automatically
open in the application it is associated with if you answer yes to:-
PROMPT[TX="DO YOU WANT TO OPEN THE FILE AFTER POSTING IT?ENTER 1 FOR YES AND
0 FOR NO!".
Cool hey.
Not bad for a Limey.
