after implementing a basic getMacroHandler() in HopObject like walter 
proposed:

----
HopObject/functions.js

function getMacroHandler(name) {
    return this[name];
}
----



now it is working! i also discovered that setting allowDeepMacros in 
app.properties is not necessary at all. just a 
getMacroHandler()-function is enough.


the documentation to this feature [1] is not quite clear in my opinion. 
i thought that getMacroHandler() is already existing somewhere deep in 
Helma. i have not realized that i should write this method...

cheers,
Anton
