Further on Recording Keystrokes

["N. Sivin" nsivin@xxxxxxxx]

I wonder whether I could persuade Tim B. or someone else to say a bit more
about the little musical note (ASCII 13). If you are recording strokes and
you want to put in a carriage return (ASCII 10 + ASCII 13), is there some
simple way to do it? Tim wisely notes that hitting F9 will execute a
command, since it inserts an XC, but what if you want a carriage return.

The function assigned to the ENTER key is indeed #13. The problem, for me as
well as for Sherry, is that, when I run the keystroke macro, instead of
performing a carriage return, it puts a #13 in the text at that point. That
means before I can use a macro, I have to save and edit it manually to
substitute CR's for #13's. There must be a simpler way. I can easily use a
kludge, in fact, because I do not use my regular customized keyboard for
recording macros, a trick I learned from the NB list. I have a separate
MACRO keyboard, with all the extraneous stuff (YD, Q1, XH, etc., etc.) that
is useless in programs stripped out, and load it before I begin recording.

Suggestions welcomed!
