% The macro is called with commands in #1 that manipulates
% the box \mybox. These commands along with the result of
% the manipulation is shown. Thus the essence of the
% macro is:
%
%   a) \sbox{\mybox}{The cracy fox.}
%   b) #1 % manipulates \mybox
%   c) Print #1 commands.
%   d) Print box with frame
