XAC: OBEY within a TACL macro does not work as expected in XAC TACL

XAC: OBEY within a TACL macro does not work as expected in XAC TACL

An obey command executed from the TACL prompt will be captured and controlled if the ACACL entry has ALIAS entries for OBEY. 

An obey command within a TACL macro will not be captured or controlled.  There are constructs in obey files that if obeyed within an XAC/TACL session will not work.  One example is #iINPUT statements.  Another is an obey command with a variable reference, such as "obey [location].file".  XAC does not process TACL commands, so would not be able to process that OBEY command. If there is TACL language usage in a file, it should be a TACL macro, not an OBEY file.
