when using the SXKey internal assembler (rather than SASM) if you define a macro and pass it an argument of e.g. $-2, the $ is relative to the start of the macro and in SASM it is relative to the start of the instruction. I believe this is because SASM doesn't evaluate macro parameters until they are used and the SXKey asm evaluates them before the macro is called.
How about setting up a macro that compiles a subroutine inline (with a jump around it) the first time it is used and then sets an equate that causes only the call to the subroutine to be compiled on following calls? See: the massmind NewsLetter: Issue 0403 for just that AND a great introductions to programming with macros.

Or maybe I need a macro to generate text from a number with an arbitrary fixed decimal place......
