Jeff, here's the macro code I use to insert the OS user and a datetime
into a draft-comment. (Note that the two "run" commands assume the OS is
Windows, but there is a way to create OS-specific varieties of these, if
needed.)
<command name="addDraftComment">
<macro>
<sequence>
<choice>
<command name="insert" parameter="into draft-comment"/>
<command name="insert" parameter="after[implicitElement]
draft-comment"/>
<command name="insert" parameter="before[implicitElement]
draft-comment"/>
</choice>
<command name="run" parameter="date /t"/>
<set variable="theDate" expression="%_" plainString="true"/>
<command name="run" parameter="time /t"/>
<set variable="theTime" expression="%_" plainString="true"/>
<get expression="normalize-space(concat($theDate,$theTime))"/>
<command name="putAttribute" parameter="[implicitElement] time
'%_'"/>
<command name="putAttribute" parameter="[implicitElement] author
%U"/>
</sequence>
</macro>
</command>
I actually have this code modularized across a few different macros,
pardon any errors in translation. HTH!
