Weird Macros

I'm trying to make a macro using the number 1 on the row above the keyboard, but it keeps giving me errors. Here's the macro's code:
macro
    b1{set name="1";return "Release_Arrow0";}


The verb itself is fine, but the macro gives this error when used:
Unrecognized or inaccessible verb: Release_Arrow0

try Release Arrow()... not too good on the whole macro thing... but it might be what you need to fix...

The problem is that you probably defined your macro as a proc. Macros are used to type in the command line, so you will have to make your "Release_Arrow0" proc a verb. I also suggest you to use one verb, and supply an argument, so you will not need countless verbs, and instead can use one verb.

macro
  num1
    set name = "1"
    return "ReleaseArrow 1"
  num2
    set name = "2"
    return "ReleaseArrow 2"
  num3
    set name = "3"
    return "ReleaseArrow 3"

// ...

  num9
    set name = "9"
    return "ReleaseArrow 9"


And for your verb:

mob/verb
  ReleaseArrow(n as num) // n is the number that the user pressed
    switch(n)
      if(1)
        // do what number 1 does
      if(2)
        // do whta number 2 does
      if(3)
        // ...
