I still have the manual for MacroSoft, but it's about 120 pages long. Is
there any part in particular you need? :-) The sample programs on the
disk should give you a good start. There is the Rapid Reference section
I could scan if you want, it's only three pages long. It lists all the
commands and their options, but it doesn't give a description of the
commands.
