Parse_String() is itself a macro, and uses a temporary file internally. 
And I don't think he said he didn't want to use a macro, but that he 
wanted to pass one macro to another. Parse_String() would allow him to 
pass the macro name, though it would be slower. A better alternative 
might be to write the temp file in the macro itself, and then just 
include it for each macro call, avoiding a bunch of redundant file 
writes, but that still requires use of a temp file.

The method I've always used was to use a "user definable" macro that the 
main macro will call (I think I provided an example in another message). 
Still slower in some situations, but it doesn't require temporary files.
