Alt X (\Kexit) has a slight oddity in it that I hope someone can explain to
me.
When I use Alt X while in CONNECT mode to reach COMMAND mode I get this
situation:
Pressing Alt X (or C) to return back to CONNECT mode. When activating a
definition macro afterwards, it won't process. It just jumps to the COMMAND
window's prompt. You can then re-try the macro and it'll work.
There must be a very small detail I'm missing.
All my macros, which are activated in CONNECT mode are formatted as:
set key \## \kTest
Define test {
....
Connect
Return
}
Now when I use this macro while in CONNECT mode, it rapidly jumps to COMMAND
mode, where it does its thing, then immidately goes back into CONNECT mode.
I do this repeatedly and everything is perfect.
Never am I stuck at the prompt using my macros.
Why then does using the commands, Alt X or C, manually not have the same
effect? Why does it negate the next definition type macro used?
