This appendix describes the collection of useful macros, written by a variety
of people, that are to be found in the default macro directory, i.e.
the directory pointed to by the macro entry in your `.sm' file. If ever you write a useful (or simply clever) macro, why
not send it to us for inclusion in the next version of SM?
The macros are arranged in a number of files which may be read using the
load macro. For example, to load the file fonts type
load fonts. To forget a set of definitions, use unload.
Under Unix, there is a macro lsm that can be used to list the
contents of macro libraries, e.g. lsm utils. It is more-or-less
complete depending on the value of VERBOSE, just like LIST MACRO.
The list that follows gives the name and a one-line synopsis of all the macros
in the default files as of the date of this manual. The full text of any macro
may be examined via the help <macroname> command in SM; the
default files may be printed for those who desire a hardcopy.
