A few good resources are

Making a macro - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft
WoW -> Community -> Macro Guide, Part 1
World of Warcraft 2.0: Macros – BorkWeb

Once you have a fundemental grasp of how they operate, the posts here will make much more sense.

#Showtooltip is for selecting what icon to display.

Example:

#showtooltip Lightning Bolt
/cast Flame Shock

This will show the lightning bolt icon and the GCD cooldown for Lightning bolt, but when you press it, it'll cast Flame Shock.

Hey Z send me a copy of what you have and Ill critique it from a brain dead POV. I looked at the sites and there are some things not explained well. Like #showtooltip - what does this do? I have dabbled in programming like Cobol, BASIC, C and a few others including Access/Excell. my address is WOW1@tx.rr.com
