*   In comparing this latest macro (as written by Kyle Watkins) to one
*   Tim Farley wrote earlier, the following message was sent to me on the
*   SemWare BBS by Tim, dated 7/31/90:

* COMMENTS FROM TIM FARLEY - SemWare:
*
*   Here's Kyle's version (much improved over mine, I must admit)
*   of the file list loading macro.  Comments added by me.
* *
* * LOAD A LIST OF FILES
*
@1   MacroBegin
     EndFile BegLine              * start at last line
   REPEAT:
     UnmarkBlock                  *(unmarkblock not necessary, TH, 6-26-91)
     MarkLine Copy                * grab this name
     EditFile                     * get ready to load
     CurrentFilename " "          * to force return *here*
     Paste Return                 * paste file name & do it!
     CursorUp                     * more lines above?
     JTrue REPEAT:                * if yes, repeat.

*
*   Not only is this macro far smaller than mine (by almost a factor of
*   2!), but it has the following advantages:
*
*        * faster!
*        * doesn't "change" the file list file
*        * still loads files in same order they are in the list
*        * returns to list file with no screen "flashing"
*        * takes advantage of QEdit's deferred loading of files
*
*   That last bit is the main advantage:  by specifying CurrentFilename
*   plus a space plus the desired file name on the EditFile prompt, we
*   load both the current file, plus the file we desire.  This takes
*   advantage of the fact that the EditFile, just like the QEdit command
*   line, can accept multiple file names together, separated by spaces.
*
*   But loading the current file just returns us to the buffer we are in
*   with no disk access.  So the end result is that the file from the
*   list is entered in QEdit's "ring" *without* actually loading it.  It
*   only loads when you try to Nextfiles into it, just as if you had
*   loaded the list via a wild card.  Neat!
*
*   Kyle really came up with a far better solution here.
