Recording macros

The function key macro recorder records only keystrokes, with some exceptions. So don't use the Menu, don't use the Ctrl menu. Instead, type the key commands.

It is allowed to use the dialog windows

If you play the macro, the dialog window won't appear. The information which was produced by the dialog is stored directly in the macro. So you can write a macro "write block to the file TEMP1.WS". While recording, the usage inside the dialog makes no difference. You can click to the filenname or type it.

It can happen that some specific function keys do not work at all. These function keys are defined by your Operating System and are not available (e.g. Alt-F4 for closing a window).
