I had a problem with my macro: it seems, macros don't accept string 
parameters, only numerical values. Is that true?

i am using the latest beta version.

Greetings,

Sven

it's false !

try this :

#macro displayText (thisText)
  #debug concat(thisText",\n")
#end

displayText("Hello !")

you must see "Hello !" in the message window.
