I was recently attempting to use the macro capabilities
of the Commodore 64 Assembler and could not get it to
work.  Every time I tried to assemble the code I got a
"Duplicate Symbol" error message.  Perhaps someone can
tell me what I was doing wrong.  Here's what I tried (this
was to be a macro to print a string terminated by a null):

	.MAC PRINT
	LDY #0
?2	LDA ?1,Y
	CMP #0
	BEQ ?3
	JSR $FFD2
	INY
	JMP ?2
?3	.MND

	PRINT TEXT
TEXT	.BYTE 'THIS IS A TEST',$0D,0

I tried numerous variations of this, and every time got
the DUPLICATE SYMBOL error message with the little arrow
pointing at the word PRINT in the PRINT TEXT line.
What am I doing wrong?  HELP!!!!  Thanks in advance.
