Re: ca65 and macros

Oh, one thing I forgot about... in the Apple world, I have to do some
chicanery on strings to make them appear "normal" or "inverse by
manipulating the high bit:

; Define an ASCII string with no attributes
..macro asc Arg
.repeat .strlen(Arg), I
.byte .strat(Arg, I) | $80
.endrep
..endmacro

....and

; Define an ASCII string with the inverse attribute
..macro inv Arg
.repeat .strlen(Arg), I
.byte .strat(Arg, I) & $3f
.endrep
..endmacro

I'm not reaching enlightenment by reading the doc... is there a way to
embed macros? I need to do something like this now:
def_msg my_message, asc "Hello, world!"
or
def_msg my_message, asc("Hello, world!")
where I first have my "asc" macro manipulate the high bit, then pass
the resulting thing to "def_msg." Is this possible?
.
