Thanks, guess that means I have to write my own macros.

So another question about the group keyword. Is there a way to get
information from the group like there is for the mass objects? I think
it's mechsim:mass(#):position, so would mechsim:group(#):position return
a usable value, or would I have to be specific about which mass in a
group object I wanted the value of?
