Well, I know how to do this one, as I use the macro keys as my phonebook
(most frequently dialed numbers are in macro keys).  You put control
character in macro keys thusly:  Type the text ('ATDT 5551212'), then type
a caret ('^'), then the letter of the control key that you want ('M').
In other words, you had it exactly right when you type that parenthetical
expression in line 2 (of the quoted part, above).

Hope at least this little bit helps...
