Pretty much just as you would type it, plus the use of (among other less
commonly useful things) ^C for cancel, \ for user input, and ; for enter but
spaces work for that, too, in most circumstances. Every character and space
counts, unlike the Lisp way, and you have to get used to what needs to be
followed by a space/enter (such as the @ and the P below) and what doesn't
(such as the \ and the ;), a little. If you're willing to have it scaled
and rotated about the selection point, you can do something like:
[Shrink&Rot45]^C^CScale \;@ 0.5 Rotate P ;@45
If you want it scaled and rotated around its insertion point, you probably
have to incorporate some Lisp (which you can do), getting that from its
association list as you would in a Lisp routine. If you don't want to
string it all out in one line, use a + at the end of a line to continue the
macro to another.
If you start it with a * before the ^C^C, it will automatically repeat as
long as you want to keep going.
Help is pretty good about all this, I think.

I would like to know how to write a macro in the ciu.
I want to scale some text then rotate it. I can do this in lisp but I would
like to see how it could be done as a macro. This is the what I want to do:
1 select text
2 scale the text .5
3 rotate the text 45 degrees
Thanks to any one who can show me the way.
