I have posted this question before, but gotten no response.  That was
immediately before the holidays, however; perhaps people were too busy
to think about this.  The question concerns the micro-emacs 3.10 macro
language.

The problem is isolated in the following macro:

	split-current-window
	write-message "The window is split.  Press a key."
	set %dummy &gtk

If you put those line in a buffer and execute the buffer, you'll see
that despite what you'd expect, the window does not split until after
the third line is executed.

Since this sort of behavior can louse up macros considerably, I'd like
to know of a way to turn it off, if that is possible.

Thanks.
