The macro for the Address command below uses the backslash (\) to pause
for user input and the semicolon (;) for Enter.
text \.4 0 DRAFT Inc;;;Main St.;;;City, State;
The macro starts the TEXT command, pauses for the user to specify a start
point, and then enters the address on three lines. In the triple semicolon (;;;),
the first semicolon ends the text string, the second repeats TEXT, and the
third accepts the default placement below the previous line.
