You can't use .dms files, and client.script at the same time. You have to decide to use one of them. Personally, I use client/script so my RSC file doesn't relock every time I modify it, but using .dms files is a way to organize your script.

<style>
body
{
  background: #000000;
  color: #003366;
};
</style>

macro
     F1 return "Attack"


Put the following to either a .dms file, or into client/script.

How do you create a .dms? File->New only says .dm, .dmp, and .dmi for me.
macro
    j return src.jump()
client/command_text=".alt "
mob/verb/jump()
    world<<"!"

Yields an error if I put it in a .dm.

In response to EGUY
the simplest way to create a .dms is to rename the extension to as such (In other words: File > New > [name].dms ... eg, if I wanted it to be called script, I would type in script.dms)

Yes, you can type in the extension and it'll make that file, it's a nice shortcut at times...

Edit: Here's an example for the client.script version of macro

client/script={"
macro
    a return "beh"
"}
