executing one macro from another

Hi,

I want to execute one macro from another macro. In this way a 'top macro'
can configure the job. But I can't get it to work.

Example:

--------- macro topMacro.C
{

   gInterpreter->ExecuteMacro("subMacro1.C");
  
}
--------- subMacro1.C
{
 // do something
}



If I do (within RINT):

.x topMacro.C

I get something like:

Error: file subMacro1.C can not open

I tried various things in topMacro.C:

1) gInterpreter->ExecuteMacro("subMacro1.C");
2) gInterpreter->Processline(".x subMacro1.C");

In understand this somehow means a recursive use of interpreter. But I
think it must be possible somehow (I think I remember the Alice ppl
do things like that.) What is the right procedure to get this to work?

Thanks,

Rutger van der Eijk
