Create and use commands from history steps
Save a set of history steps as a named command, which then becomes available in the Commands menu. Create and
save a new command if you might use a set of steps again, especially the next time you start Dreamweaver.

Note: The command is saved as a JavaScript file (or sometimes an HTML file) in your Dreamweaver/Configu-
ration/Commands folder. If you are using Dreamweaver on a multiuser operating system, the file is saved in the specific
user's Commands folder.

Record and save commands
