Code:
macro
   a return "Punch"


Problem description: The problem is this: When I put this in a dms file, it says it's correct. But when I try to press "a", it says nothing was assigned to it. Do you know what's wrong?

You need to make an actual verb to go with it... think macro as a verb shortcut (keyword: verb not proc)
macro
  a return "Awsome"
  s return "Stupid 1"
  d return "Stupid 2"


mob/verb
  Awsome
     world<<"OMZDKUSDG! THSI ROX0RZ!!!one!on1eone!1"
  Stupid(i as num)
     if(i==2)world<<"You are stupid... you dumbass."
     else world<<"OMG, I wonder what this shiny red button does..."

I did make a verb. sorry i didn't post that before.

here's the verb:
mob/verb
    Punch()
        set category="Attacks"
        var/obj/k=new/obj/n
        k.dir=usr.dir
        k.loc=usr.loc
        step(k,k.dir)
        var/turf/t=k.loc
        for(var/mob/M as mob in t)
            if(!usr.punching && !M.NFC && !usr.Attacking)
                usr.Attacking=1
                spawn(1) usr.ComboHits()
                spawn(1) usr.ComboList()
                usr.punching=1
                var/Damage=(usr.Atk+usr.Atk_BONUS+roll(d6))-(M.Def+M.Def_BONUS)
                if(Damage>=1)
                    usr << "You punch [M], doing <b>[Damage]</b> damage!"
                    M << "[usr] punched you, doing <b>[Damage]</b> damage!"
                    M.HP-=Damage
                    DeathCheck(M)
                else
                    usr << "You punch [M], but you did no damage!"
                    M << "[usr] punched you, but did no damage!"
                sleep(1)
                usr.punching=0
                usr.Attacking=0
                del(k)
                return
            else if(usr.punching || usr.Attacking)
                del(k)
                return
            else if(M.NFC)
                usr<<"You can't fight non-fighting characters."
                del(k)
                return
        if(!usr.Attacking && !usr.punching)
            usr.Attacking=1
            usr.punching=1
            spawn(1) usr.ComboHits()
            spawn(1) usr.ComboList()
            sleep(1)
            usr.Attacking=0
            usr.punching=0
            del(k)
            return
        else if(usr.Attacking || usr.punching)
            del(k)
            return


EDIT: There's 2 variables (Attacking & punching) for a reason. I'm making a combo system.

(credit given to people who actually thought of this before me.)

Is the little ALT button activated in the bottom left hand corner of DS? Try that if it isn't.

It is. It might have to do with the "client/script" thing i added. The macros are part of the script, right?

EDIT: It was the client/script thing I added, so, how do I make it so that I have a blue text box with white text and still keep the macros? Is it possible?

Yep, you just combine the two. I prefer doing it all under client/script:
client/script = {"
<STYLE>BODY {background: blue; color: white}</STYLE>

macro
    a return "Punch"
"}


Edit: *Cough* >.>
Thanks for the catch Mysame!
