-
- Macros are recorded keyboard and mouse events. All keystrokes and mouse
- events are saved to a disk file, from which they can be recalled later
- for playback. Each macro must have a name, up to 50 characters long. The
- length and number of macros is limited only by available disk space.

- RECORDING ▄
- ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
-
- To initiate recording of a macro, simply use the Macros/Record menu option.
- You will be presented with a dialog box that will have you enter a name for
- the macro. The name will automatically be converted to upper-case, and spaces
- will be converted to underscores. Accept the dialog box, and recording will
- commence.
-
- To record the playback of other macros, simply use the Macros/Playback
- menu option to pick a macro for playback. When recording the playback of
- other macros, pick the macros alphanumerically, rather than with cursor
- keys or the mouse, as the position of a macro on the list can change with
- the addition or deletion of macros.
-
- To stop recording, use the Recording/Stop Recording menu option.

- PLAYBACK ▄
- ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
-
- To playback a macro, simply pick it from the list offered in the
- Macros/Playback menu option.
-
- When recording a macro that plays back other macros, pick the macros for
- playback by entering the name of the macro when in the list, (use the
- complete name to anticipate the addition of similar macros in the future).
- The list will apha-numerically select the macro you desire. This is the
- better way to select macros, rather than by position as selected by the
- mouse or cursor keys, because the changes in the macro list caused by
- additions and deletions of macros will not affect the proper selection of
- the macro.
-
- When selecting a macro alph-numerically, spaces will automatically be
- replaced with underscores, as spaces are not allowed in the macro name.

- DELETING MACROS ▄
- ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
-
- You can delete macros by using the Macros/Delete menu option. Pick the macro
- you wish to delete from the list, and the macro will be deleted after you
- confirm the action.
-
- Be careful deleting macros, as you may delete a macro that is used by
- another macro. If this happens, the macro handler has no way of knowing that
- the macro has been deleted, and another macro will be payed back, disrupting
- the proper sequence of events.
