RosAsm macro example from its author

The author of RosAsm in a recent topic posted by Randy Hyde issued a
challenge to match one of his RosAsm macros in another assembler's
macro language.

Proc MyProc:
Arguments @Line, @Row ; non referenced arguments
Local @X, @Y ; non referenced locals
Structure @POINT 8, @xDis 0, @yDis 4 ; args @xDis & @yDis
; not provided
Uses esi, edi ; big deal

; Blah... ; Blah

Endp ; <<< Take notes of this "EndP"... :)); endp (standard masm)

The side comments are mine but the author has not yet posted a complete
example with any description of what the macro is supposed to do. We
would all wish to give the author of RosAsm every opportunity to
explain this capacity that he claims other assemblers cannot do but he
must post a complete example with a description of what it is supposed
to do and what the results look like.

No one would want to see the author miss out on the opportunity to show
language users from HLA and MASM how powerful his macro system was but
if he continues to delay his response, it could be seen that he does
not have the technical capacity to back up what he claimed in the first
place.
