Hi Philip,

> Hello. I have what is sure to be a very stupid question but it is driving
> me nuts...I am trying to run the macro for Tutorial #16 - fitting

> or backsig.c.  Any other filename produces the error:
> 
> root [1] .X 'filename.C'
> Error: No symbol 'filename'() in current scope  FILE: LINE:0

but this works:
 root [0] .L filename.C 
 root [1] backsig()

When executing a file `f.XX' containing functions (not a single macro)
root expects a function `f()' in the file and tries to execute it.

Regards,
  Volker
