Hi Seanga,

  Thanks for reporting this problem.

  I have checked in a small patch to update the assembler's documentation.  The
.altmacro entry now includes:

  'No passing arguments to macros based upon keyword assignment.'
     In altmacro mode arguments cannot be passed to macros by keyword
     assignment.

and the .macro entry includes:

         Note however that when operating in altmacro mode arguments
         can only be specified by position, not keyword.

          Thus for example:

               .altmacro
               .macro foo bar=1, baz=2
               .print "\bar \baz"
               .endm

               foo baz=3

          Will print:

               baz=3 2

          Rather than the expected:

               1 3

Cheers
  Nick
