Re: M15 macro coding

Hi alimumtaz101,
The Line "IF (#9402 != 0) THEN GOTO 200" was to determine if an input was assigned by the user or not, if the user did have an input then we would wait for the input to change states, otherwise wait 3 seconds. However, 9402 was never implemented (and instead was used for an axis pairing feature). This was left over code in the macro that has been overlooked.
However, i do have some updated macros that will be part of the next version of acorn released.
This should work in the current 4.64 version released as well. Hope that clarifies it for you.
