The example I posted wasn't in a Help screen.  Those lines were from one of
my X10 ActiveHome configuration files.  I have a utility program which will display
ActiveHome User Files in human readable format.  I think it may have been in the
FTP directory at X10.com several years ago.  It was named EEPROM or MEMORY.

I never "coded" a Macro.  I use ActiveHome to create Macros which are downloaded
to the CM11A and saved as an ActiveHome User File.  The DOS file extension is .X10.
