Appendix B-MacroMaker Command Files

The MacroMaker program provided with the Macintosh system software lets you

record keystrokes, mouse clicks, and commands in special files called scripts

or macros, and assign the scripts to a key or a combination of keys on the

keyboard. When you press the key or combination of keys that has a MacroMaker

script, the script is "played." Anytime you find yourself doing a series of

keystrokes over and over again, it's a good idea to use MacroMaker to replace

the entire series of keystrokes with a single key.

Installing MacroMaker

MacroMaker is supplied in the MacroMaker Folder on the System Additions disk.

The figure below shows the icons for the three files in that folder.

Follow these steps to install MacroMaker:

1. Drag the icons for the program, its help file, and the script file

"Macros" to the System Folder of your startup disk.

2. Restart the Macintosh.

Once the program is installed, a MacroMaker menu appears to the right of the

other menus in the menu bar, whether you are working on the desktop or in a

program. The MacroMaker menu's icon resembles an audio cassette.

You can remove MacroMaker by dragging its icons out of the System Folder of

your startup disk and restarting the computer.

Creating Macros with MacroMaker

You create a macro in the MacroMaker window.
