In the prelim doc for SDB, it clearly states that macros are automatically
saved to a file named "xxxxx.mac", where "xxxxx" is the same name as the
program you're sdb'ing. Doesn't work (at least not if you're working out
of vd0: ... haven't tried it working out of df0: or df1:). Nor can I find
any explicit command that saves the macro definitions.
However ... if you create such a file with your favorite text editor, and
put macro definitions in it in the usual form (e.g., "x foo cmd1;cmd2;..."),
they will get defined, as the .mac file *is* automatically "source'd" at
sdb startup-time, as it should be.
Actually, it seems you can put *any* sdb command in this file, not just macro
definitions, and they will be executed before sdb gives control to the user.
