Edith Manual         Macros         24th September 1994


A KEYBOARD MACRO is a sequence of key strokes  recorded
like you record music on a cassette tape.

EDITH  allows   you   to   record   up   to   10   such
sequences, which are activated by pressing CONTROL  and
a function key.

To start recording a macro, open the MACROS dialog from
the CONFIG menu  or by  pressing CONTROL  and 6.   Then
select one  of  the  function keys,   type  a  name  to
identify the  sequence  (this  is  not  necessary), and
press RECORD.

Top a  text  window and  enter  the sequence.  To  stop
recording, select END MACRO from the CONFIG menu, click
STOP in the  KEYBOARD MACROS  dialog. While  recording,
the mouse will take the shape of an audio cassette.

From then on, the sequence can be activated by pressing
control plus the selected function key.


** A macro consists  of up to  16 keystrokes.  A  macro
   cannot call another macro.

** Macros are  loaded  and saved  together  with  other
   keyboard settings by LOAD KEYS and SAVE KEYS.

** The default configuration  contains 5 preset  macros
   (on F1-F5).   F6 up  to F10  are open  for your  own
   additions.
