Macro Record/Playback

The VT220 macro function enables you to reduce the number of keystrokes required
for a frequently repeated entry such as a logon sequence. Unique keystroke sequences
can be stored for each of the 24 function keys on the keyboard. The entered keystroke
sequences are stored in nonvolatile memory, which means that the data is retained even
if the power is turned off.

Note: There is a 7000 key limit on the length of each macro.
