Dear Alexander, @25-Oct-2004, 15:28 +0200 (25-Oct 14:28 UK time) Alexander S. Kunz [ASK] in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Marck:

Indeed, but that's not because it is *intrinsically* wrong. It isn't.
What you have both ignored is a basic tenet of the use of parenthesis
to delimit macro parameters. It says quite clearly in the 'fine'
manual ;-) :
,------/ Help - Template Macros \------
Note: The Bat! version 2 introduces a new syntax for macros: it is now
possible to use brackets instead of ="..." (in some cases it is now
required, for example in macros with more than one parameter). Plus,
quotation marks are not required for one-word or one-macro parameters.
`------\ End /------
See that last sentence? The converse is that quotation marks *are
required* for more than single word macro parameters.
Therefore:
%MACRO("This will work")
and
%MACRO(This will never work)
This is what the issue really is.
