macros

[tgieske grnskl@xxxxxxxx]

Gentlelisters:

Back when I had Xywrite 3 and a 4086, I used to be able to make macros to
do things to my copy, such as take all the carriage returns out and replace
them with [ep carriage return, which teh host computer at my paper would
recognize as a paragraph indent.

You would outline the carriage return, hit the replace function gizmo, and
the carriage return arrow would appear in the window signifying the thing
to be replaced.

You're told to record keystrokes. But certain keystrokes won't record,
particularly the ones that you wish to replace. There's a bunch of things
I'd like to use macros for, cleaning up HTML files for instance, but I
can't make them work anymore.

Can anyone help a newcomer to this most absorbing list?
