The macro NOUSERMACRO controls yodl's warnings in the following respect. When yodl is started with the -w flag on the command line, then warnings are generated when yodl encounters a possible macro name, followed by a parameter list, but fails to lookup the macro. The yodl program then prints something like cannot expand possible user macro. Examples of such sequences are, The necessary file(s) are in /usr/local/lib/yodl, or see the manual page for sed(1). The candidate macros are hee file and sed; these names could just as well be `valid' user macros followed by their parameter list. When a corresponding NOUSERMACRO statement appears before yodl encounters the candidate macros, no warning is generated. A fragment might therefore be:
NOUSERMACRO(file sed)
The necessary file(s) are in ...
See the manual page for sed(1).

The NOUSERMACRO accepts one or more names in its argument, separated by spaces, commas, colons, or semi-colons.
