I have a number of packages which are supplied with their own editors (Benchmark Modula-2, ArgAsm) which provide integrated compile-link-run options which are really handy. However I want to standardise by using my favourite editor CED for all my program writing, but don't want to lose my one-key compile options. Question: can I define macros to save the file and then execute a (resident?) command to compile/link it? I'd like to press a key to save the file and execute M2 on that file, then do an M2Lk, another key to do a similar thing but call LC etc. I've tried to get to grips with macros to do this myself but I lack the understanding/experience. If the macros won't suffice, will Arexx do the job? I don't have Arexx nor do I know what it does, but I am willing to buy it if it will solve my problem. Thanks in advance, Phil
