When I run:
______________________________________

#version 3.7;

global_settings { assumed_gamma 1 }

#macro Write_something (N, FileID)
   #write (FileID, N)
#end

#fopen F "test.txt" write
Write_something ("Hello, world.\n", F)
#fclose F
______________________________________

I get the error:
______________________________________

"C:\Users\Ricky Callwood\Documents\POV-Ray\test\file_param.pov" line 19: Parse
Error: Expected 2 parameters but only 1 found.
______________________________________

I am running POV-Ray version 3.7RC3.

My OS is the infinitely exasperating Windows 7 Ultimate.
