Help File
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.

Stop Press!

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.
