Yes, you can bypass the macro directory screen. The keyin command is:
MACRO print_chris
MicroStation will look for print_chris.ba in the directories listed in
the MS_MACRO configuration variable. Based on the directory shown above,
this is likely to be case.
If the macro file isn't in one of the MS_MACRO directories then the
command is
MACRO "c:\Program
Files\Bentley\Workspace\standards\macros\print_chris.ba"
The double quotes are needed when there are spaces in the file
specification. (And if the command is on two lines, blame it on word
wrapping.)
