I believe that in your first two and last two macros above, the quotation
marks are unnecessary, since if I'm not mistaken quotes are only needed if
you have one or more spaces in whatever sequence you've defined. Though
apparently macros will function whether you have the quotes there or not.
But (sorry) I don't know why the top four macros won't work.
