Hello MaXxX,
Historians believe that Sunday, July 29, 2001 at 12:41 GMT -1200 was
when, MaXxX [M] typed the following:

I think you've got a good idea, but how would you solve this one:
Suppose your string needs a closing bracket ")" but no opening
bracket. A silly example is:
%IF("%DOW"="Friday":"It's almost the weekend ;-)":"")
Don't you still have the same problem? Or can you get rid of the
quotation marks inside as well?
M> "Quoted" values were good for non-nested macros. I think it's high time to

I can definitely see the potential, but this %IF macro is still
tricky with either syntax. But for every other macro, your method
could be a big improvement.
