Start with these slides

   "http://www.cs.utah.edu/plt/slideshow/macro-module-slides/mmtalk.pdf"

and then go on to the paper:

   "Composable and Compilable Macros - You Want it When?".
   Matthew Flatt, ICFP 2002

My attempt at explaining the concepts via a simpler example
than the record one is found in the attached note. The exact
same technique can be used for your macros.

Simply cut and paste all modules into the definition window
and hit run.
