Does anyone know how to convert this lotus

{?}

The whole lotus maco is
{?}{r 6}{down}

Do you know what these symbols mean in Lotus Script?
if you do then you can lookup an equivalent excel command or a similar one.
Search the Excel online help for lotus macro conversion.

{?} waits for user input ie type in something
and wait for enter key.
USE: inputbox function or method.

{r 6}{down} move Right 6 cells and Down 1
USE: activecell.offset(1,6)

{16{branch \i} =branch to \i ???
USE: goto (I think the branch is non returnable
ie macro does not return to calling macro)
