I'm having this problem with Nisus that may be a "feature." Nisus seems to lag a bit when you are typing real fast, etc. It seems to lag so that your typing doesn't get slowed. My problem: This also happens with macros. I can invoke a macro and start typing, and the macro has yet to "kick in." The deal is this: I want to write a macro that uses styles to set a series of "titles" for my scriptwriting. This requires something like this: If I hit Numeric pad 1: <cr><---------------------------blank line FRED<-----------Insert the NAME style and type "FRED", then hit <return> <cursor><---------------Insert the DIALOG style and wait for input. I want to hit 1, then start typing, but if I do, I have to wait for the macro to get around to entering all of the text, which may or may not end up before the dialogf as needed. Is there any way to tell Nisus to complete a macro before reading the keybuffer or whatever this feature is doing? jas -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey A.
