Macro help

Macro help varies according to cube size. It is disabled if macros have not been loaded.

The default setting for Macro Load Options in the Unravel Options dialog is Use default macros. When that option is selected the macro help is created from the Unravel program's internally stored data and the result is not saved in an external text file. This is the preferred option for users who do not wish to create their own macros.

If the Read macro files from user's computer is selected from Macro Load Options in the Unravel Options dialog, the program looks for a macro command (definition) text file. For standard cubes with unmarked centres, the name of the text file is urvcmdnn.txt (where "nn" is the cube size in the range 02 to MaxCubeSize). If marked cubes in the 3 to a maximum size value (typically about 32) are in use, the name of the text file is either urvcmdnnm.txt or urvcmdnns.txt depending on option. Refer to Default macros for more details on these text files.

A default macro command file can be generated at run-time. The default file contains macro definitions and help text used in the presentation of macro help. Users can generate their own macro command files, either during run-time or outside the program, and provided some macro file generation rules are adhered to, these files can be used by the program to display macro help. To perform on-line macro editing the Enable on-line macro editing radio button in the Unravel Options dialog needs to be selected.

In applet program mode default macros are always loaded.
