I don't know about other ADSM systems, but on Solaris 2.5.1/2.6 macros are
just unix files that can be stored in any directory.

From the admin command line, the files are executed as follows:

adsm>  macro /home/adempsey/test.mac

...
   the output
             ...

Of course, if the macro is in the default directory, the full qualified
name is not necessary.

adsm>  test.mac

...
   the output
             ...
