- • Makro
- • version 1.01 (23-Jun-93)
- • by Dave Thomas, © 1993
-
- Purpose ___________________________________________________________________
-
- Makro allows you to define simple string sequences that can be 'played back'
- as if you had types them in at the keyboard. These are known as 'macros'.
-
- Usage _____________________________________________________________________
-
- When first loaded Mode will open a window in the bottom-left hand corner of
- the screen. This window consists of an upright grey rectangle on the left of
- the window and four horizontal 'slabs'. The grey rectangle acts like a title
- bar. You can drag using Adjust anywhere else over the window to resize it.
- To define a macro, click Menu over any of the four slabs, a menu will appear
- with Info, New & Quit options on it. The first and last are self-explanatory,
- 'New' is the one we're interested in, move the pointer over the arrow to get
- the submenu. Now you can type in the text you want stored. When you've
- finished press Return, the text you have written will be stored in the icon.
- When you click on the icon next, it will be inserted into whatever currently
- has input focus. You can also press Ctrl when over one of the slabs to insert
- it, this is useful for menus and dialogue boxes which disappear normally.
-
- Notes _____________________________________________________________________
-
- • Strings are OS_GSTrans'ed ie. things like '<Sys$Time>' will be expanded
- into the form '19:51:42'. Also control strings (|M etc) are dealt with.
- • Maximum macro size is 255 chars.
- • Not tested on anythang other than my littl' ol' A3000 with Risc OS 3.10
- • Any enhancements you want me to make then *please* contact me (see below)
