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... wizard -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: ...!cs.utexas.edu!bigtex!jclyde!wizard or wizard@jclyde.cactus.org --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joy is in the ears that hear. -- Stephen R Donaldson.
