- RYBBS has the ability to allow each user to define up to 10 macro keys to
- perform commonly repeated series of keystrokes. Each macro my contain up to
- 80 keystrokes.
-
- The best way to implement the definition of your macros is to monitor the
- keystrokes you use on a regular basis when you access "On Board". Record each
- keystroke as you work your way thru the system. When you find that you are
- doing the same keystroke combination on frequent basis, then that series is
- a good candidate to be defined in a macro.
-
- A macro consists of two major parts:
-
- 1. The invocation key(s) - This can be 1 - 3 characters in
- length. It is wise to use more than
- 1 character as there will be less
- chance of conflicting with the
- normal menu commands.
-
-
-
-
- 2. The keystroke definition - This consists of the command,
- followed by the command separator,
- followed by the next command,
- followed by the command separator,
- etc.
-
- Macro Syntax:
-
-
- c1;c2;c3;c4;c5;.........
- ^ ^
- | |
- | |______ command separator - ALWAYS a semicolon ";"
- |
- command #1
-

-
-
- Example : Here is a macro to look for new files since last logon:
-
- Invocation keys - lnf
-
- Definition -q;f;n;!
-
- The "q" will quit to the Main Menu.
- The "f" will call the Files menu.
- The "n" will cause a search for all new files.
- The "!" indicates this carriage return
-
-
- I hope that this will help you in your use of the MACRO function, and will
- make your time spent accessing RYBBS boards more enjoyable.
