Nice features -- Closed Apple Control-C will automatically step thru all appropriate menus to catalog the current disk. Closed Apple R will take you back to the file you were working on. Closed Apple Q will bring you to the next file on the desktop. Programming the macros is easy. There are simple commands to bring you to the main menu, convert upper to lower case and back, and step through lists. Any key can be programmed to act as a different key. For example, one macro makes a numeric key pad by making u, i, and o act as 4, 5, and 6, and by making j, k, and l act as 1, 2, and 3. You can have one macro automatically execute itself after Appleworks is booted (kind of like a Dos 3.3 Hello program). The one sort of annoying feature is that Autoworks is supposed to be able to automatically list the current macros into the word processor so you can edit them and re-compile them (all without leaving the word processor). Unfortunately, when listing a macro that contains Open Apple O, the word processor executes that command and stops listing the macros. This is not much of a drawback because I haven't updated my macros in months. Mike Wertheim (Carnegie Mellon University)
