No, not all of it.  A majority of it, yes, but there's a lot of stuff that
isn't...

MBSE does not have a macro language.  It has a few control codes for use with
display screens, but other than that, no.  The only dropfiles it creates are
DOOR.SYS and DOOR32.SYS and that's hard-coded.

If you want to see what control codes MBSE does have:
