Runes of Magic - Macros

Okay, I've recently been dragged into playing Runes of Magic (I'm now playing in Siochain server with main character SaberArthas) and have been experimenting with the macros.
Well, I now know how to use the typical macros such as
/s - which says your message
/g -which says your message in the guild channel
/p - says it in the party channel
/z - says it in the zone channel
/w - whispers to

and the simple
/cast
/use

but I can't seem to get macros to link up to each other which make the macro length limit 255... and if you want to continue into another macro, you'll have to manually activate the continuation part... which is kinda a pain.
Also, you can make a macro to swap equipment without having to open the equipment window and manually pressing the button which can be handy in mid battle or if you are dying and don't wan't to spend so much money repairing your armor:
/script SwapEquipmentItem()

I use this script alot when using knight cause that way I can equip a 2-H Sword and still use shield skills easily. Example:

Macro Name: Quick Shield of Atonement

/script SwapEquipmentItem()
/wait 1
/cast Shield of Atonement
/wait 1
/script SwapEquipmentItem()

As you might have noticed, I put in /wait 1. This is because there is a general cool down when using spells and such so making the queue wait for 1 second is always a good thing. Longer if you usually lag while playing. Oh, and beware when swapping equipment cause if your secondary equipment has a lower max hp than your primary, then you will only get back the max hp of the secondary when you swap back to Primary equipment... hmmm, its too hard to explain, well, you'll see what I mean.
Also, since you would want to save up on characters, /script seems to be able to be replaced by /run which saves 3 characters. Not sure what the difference is though but all my macros work so far replacing script with run ^^
Cheerio!
