Passing Macros to $ARG1$

[Brian E. Seppanen]

In the below text I should have indicated that I'm running nagios 1.1 with 
plugins 1.3.1, on a debian 3.0 test host.

The reason I'm trying to use the macro is that I have multiple service 
definitions in different files that will be using the same definition with 
only one argument different, being either $USER5$, $USER6$, or $USER7$.   
I'd rather use the shorthand macro than have to hardcode the value as 
that's what macros are for....
