[comp.sys.ibm.pc] 'macro' key: what is it?

Question: I have a key on my 'RT style' keyboard connected to my AT clone
that is labeled 'macro'.  It has no apparent effect when used alone or 
with other keys.  It is however recognized by Borland Superkey screen saver,
and turns the display back on when struck. What does it do/for ?

My enhanced AT style keyboard has a key labled 'macro'. Whats it do?
It causes my screen to retore when using a screen-blanking-saving
program, but does not seem to do anything else. Any ideas?
