Russell,

I though the same thing myself. Some of the scripts are OK, but there are
others where the macro command doesn't handle some of the quotes within the
file, and it fails. I played around for a while trying to get a version that
would work as a macro, and decided that it was all too hard, so I shut my
server down and did the runfile.

Certainly you can read the file to work out what the samples do.

        Isn't it just a giant macro?

        Copy the file to a place where you the command line admin client can
        see access it issue a

                macro scripts.smp

        in the admin client.
