- This is the second Public Domain release of Se_Macros. The purpose of
- Se_Macros is to avoid having to type repetetive phrases (and particularly
- my logo) and to allow it to be done with one mouseclick.
- The reason that this application supports 11 macros is that at a later date I hope to add a feature to allow Alt and a function key to be held down to
- avoid having to bother with the mouse so much when you're so busily involved
- with the keyboard. 11 Seemed the most sensible number as I don't like messing
- with F12.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- By default (Ie when I uploaded this) Macros 1-6 will dial various BBS's if
- used with a modem terminal. Macro 7 draws my logo, and Macros 8-11 say hello
- in various dialects.
- The CTRL column allows each macro to be allocated a character to act as if
- CTRL were held down when the next character was pressed. This is definable to
- solve the problem of having to work out how to obtain the CTRL character in a
- macro (For instance, often applications will take | to be the CTRL character,
- how am I supposed to draw my logo if that is the case?) by default, all CTRL
- characters are | except for Macro7 which has ^ as it's CTRL character.
- The * icons next to the Macros allows the macros to be OSCLI'd rather than
- typed. This now works perfectly well. There is also a small "Click Box" which
- is opened by clicking Adjust on the Bar Icon and which will sit nicely in the
- corner of the screen. The Icon Bar menu has the entries "Click Oscli" - Which
- causes the Click Box to act like the Oscli button in the edit window,
- "Slower" - Which slows down the speed at which the Macros are typed but
- improves the reliability of the application, "Save" - Which saves the Macros
- to a file inside the application directory, and finally "Quit" - I wonder
- what this does?

- The legal bit
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This software is freely distributable on the understanding that the
- distributor will not recieve more than a little money (<50p+costs) for
- distributing it, and that neither distributors nor recipients will alter
- anything but the SaveFile, nor will they take any part of this application
- excluding the contents of !RunImage after the words "Wimp Procedure Library"
- to use in their own software. Breach of these agreements without a licence
- (available from me for £10) is a tort and will result in legal action.

- Here is a flash announcement. Above, it is stated that Se_Macros supports 11
- Macros because I didn't want to have to mess around with F12.
- This is not true.
- The truth of the matter is I had originally intended to use 10 Macros, but I
- forgot that Icons are numbered from 0, so by the time I came to count, it was
- a choice between re-making my edit window, or using 11 Macros. I saw no moral
- impediment to using 11.
