Hi,
Smurph (and others) have gone to some lengths to explain to me why you should name all your macros with a lower case m.
It turns out that Machs interpreter changes all uppercase letters to lowercase, therefore when Mach is searching for a macro it
will be looking for m.... not M.... as you coded. Windows is not case sensitive and will usually provide the right file but sometimes
it doesn't. Understanding how Mach searches for macros has saved me a number of snafus. Not sure that this is the problem
you describe but is a handy tip anyway...it will save you some headscratching down the line.
