Problem

Symptoms: Does WP 6.0 DOS have an equivalent command to the WP 5.1 DOS {SYSTEM}Menu~ macro command? Is there a way for a WP 6.0 DOS macro to detect what menu or dialog box is active? Solutions: WP 6.0 does not need to have an exact equivalent of the WP 5.1 macro command, {SYSTEM}Menu~. WP 6.0 uses tokenized macros that allow the user to remain within a structure and perform specific commands. For example, if a WP 5.1 DOS user wants to set a margin, the user must select Format, Line or Page, and then choose Margins. A WP 6.0 DOS user can simply send a Margin command. A WP 6.0 macro does not need to go through a dialog or menu, unless the user specifically requests it. There are ways of using a macro to walk through the dialogs, but it is generally not necessary. WP 6.0 DOS does provide some query commands that detect if a menu or dialog is active: ?EditScreen Returns a value indicating whether or not the user is at an editing screen ?Substructure Returns a value indicating whether or not the user is in a substructure (like styles) ?PullDownMenus Returns a value indicating whether or not the pull-down menus are on
