Hello all
Suppose I define the content of a local macro named "alpha" as :
.local alpha 1 2 3 4 5
Can I adjust the content of the local macro without having to redefine
the local macro?
Can I remove, for example, the first number such that the content is
now 2 3 4 5 rather than 1 2 3 4 5?
Thus, if I type:
.di "`alpha'"
I (obviously) get:
1 2 3 4 5
but I want:
2 3 4 5
Obviously,
.di "`alpha'-1" or something wouldnt work....
Thanks
Raoul
