Viewing and Printing a Macro File 

The HP LaserRX/MPE macro .REC file is a binary file.  Two programs are
supplied so that you can view or print a .REC file:

   *   MACREADR.

       MACREADR is executed from the MS-DOS command line.

   *   MACREADW.

       MACREADW is executed from within Microsoft Windows.

To use the DOS version, simply enter MACREADR filename (where filename is
any HP LaserRX/MPE .REC file.  The file will be displayed on the screen
or printed to a printer as you direct.

To use the Windows version, execute MACREADW from the Microsoft Windows
File Manager.  If you set up MACREADW as a Windows Application, you can
double-click MACREADW when it is displayed.

A screen similar to the following screen will appear:


          Figure 8-11.  MACREADW Window 

In addition to letting you view and print the file, MACREADW lets you
copy all or part of a .REC file to an ASCII .TXT file.  You can load this
.TXT file into any word processor.  This can be extremely useful when you
are documenting macros that you have created.


NOTE  Remember that macro script files cannot be edited.
