When I use the function cmsSmartTab in my macros file with the latest 
snapshot compiled under MSVC6, I get an error from the lisp interpreter:
Type of error: syntax
command expected
Code: ...(cmcSmartTab<*>)^W                   ...
END of SLP

this part of the macros is part of the pmacro in macros.slp

   (cond
          (not (strcmp str "{"))     (progn  (InsertText "{}")
                                     (SendCommands cmcCharLeft
                                      cmcNewLine cmcLineEnd
                                      cmcLineUp cmcNewLine )
                                      ;(InsertText "\t")
		                     (cmsSmartTab)
                                     )

The old code inserted a tab - where I really wanted all spaces, as set 
per smart indent - i.e. 3 in my case.
The new command upsets the sLisp interpreter.

Am I using it properly? Does it need and argument?
