MACRO COMMANDS
NYWord allows you to type in keystroke macros and textual macros, and
to save them along with your document. You are also able to read in a
library of pre-defined macros.
<CAPTURE> (the F4 key) captures the keystrokes that you type, and
keeps them in a buffer. Pressing <CAPTURE> again will stop the capture
operation.
<REPLAY> (the F3 key) will replay the captured keystrokes. This
command can also be preceded by an optional count.
<USE MACRO> (the ALT F3 key) executes a macro that you have previously
defined. You are prompted for the name of the macro type it in, or
type a '?' to view all previously defined macros. This command may be
preceded by an optional count (ie <ESC> 3 <USE MACRO> a will execute
macro 'a' three times.)
<DEFINE MACRO> (the ALT F4 key) allows to user to create a macro. When
prompted for the name of the macro, the user has several options :
'?' views all currently defined macros
'cap' initiates capture mode. Any keystrokes you type will not only
affect the text, but will be 'captured' in a buffer as well. To end
the capture process, press the <DEFINE MACRO> key again.
'read' allows you to read in a macro file. You are prompted for the
name of the macro file - type it in. The macros in that file will now
be attached to your file.
Any other name will cause a 'regular' macro to be defined. You are
faced with a blank screen. Just type the macro as you would normal
text. Then type <CTRL> D to exit the definition.
Macros which are read in, and 'regular' macros are saved along
with your document. When you edit the document again, the macros you
defined will be left intact, and you can use them at any time.
The format of a macro file is :
macro name
lines containing the definition
. (a period in column 1 followed by a <RETURN>)
<0 or more blank lines>
macro name 2
macro definition 2
.
(etc)
