A friend of mine has a very repetitive task that I think could be simulated by a keyboard macro. Basically, I would like to assign a sequence of keystrokes to some F-key so that when he hits that key, the sequence gets sent to the program he's running as if he actually typed all those keystrokes (similar to what macro-maker does in the Mac world). Is there an easy way to do this? Are there commercial, shareware or freeware programs you could recommend? Thanks for any help. Steve sritter@psy.cmu.edu

The one that I prefer, and which I have been using for a long time, is NEWKEY. It's shareware, i.e. available from SIMTEL or your favorite shareware dealer [I recommend PSL in Houston, at (800) 242-4775]. It's versatile, friendly, tolerates every program with which I've ever used it. ----------------------------------- Tony Roder, speaking his mind .....
