There's a one byte patch you can make to APLWORKS.SYSTEM so that it no longer
disallows macros with AppleTalk active. Please, please, please don't complain
to me, Randy Brandt or Quality Computers if you end up crashing; the whole
intent was to avoid problems until it could be fixed for real (which,
according to Randy, would take a lot of code and a major rewrite). Anyway, if
this works for you (and it happens to for me, the few times I've tried it)
then great; if not, just go back to the way it was.
 
Using your favorite disk editor, follow APLWORKS.SYSTEM and find the sequence
EE 96 OA which probably starts at +142B (it does in 4.02). Change EE to 2C.
That's it. Good luck!
