Ah, you're talking about WordPerfect... I missed, 'Perfect'. The last time I
used WP was under MS DOS 6.0... But, if WP has an COM Automation interface,
it should be simple to invoke a macro from Delphi using that.
Something like:
var WP: OleVariant;
begin
WP := CreateOleObject('progID'); { whatever progID }
WP.method; { whatever method would invoke your macro }
end;
or (better), import the WP type library and make Vtable calls to it.
Cheers,
Peter
