How do I open the macro mls file to be able to read the macro and to identify the topic of the macro.  I have tried to open the macros and
get a software needed to access macro is not present error.. I might  be a little confused seeing that the macros are now in a video format
and need a reader to access them. I hope I am making myself clear.

Hey,
you can use the VB editor that is built in mach 3.

Open Mach 3
Go to operator menu at the top, and select VB Script Editor.

Now you can open script files.
Hope that helps

You can also simply open them with any text editor, like notepad. They are simple text files. Do NOT use a word processor program, they will likely introduce formatting characters that will prevent the macros from running in Mach

Using the VB editor function will allow you to actually run the code for debugging.
