Editing Rules

Editing macros is done in a free form format. With the exception of keywords, what ever you type will be what plays as the macro. This includes spaces, tabs and carriage returns.  There is a set of keywords that you can use to cause non printing keystrokes, such as the function keys or arrow keys. These words all start with the underscore character. The legal keywords are:

_altUp 	_altDown

_shiftUp 	_shiftDown

_controlUp 	_controlDown

_capsLock 	_numLock

_scrollLock 	_backspace

_insert 	_delete

_home 	_end

_pageUp 	_pageDown

_left 	_right

_up 	_down

_space 	_tab

_enter 	_escape

_time x	( x is in milliseconds)

_F n	( n is from 1 to 16 )

_execute  pathname, arguments, directory, x, y, width, height

Note that if a keyword is on any line, the carriage return at the end of that line will not be a part of the macro.
