Creating and Editing Macros

A macro allows you to send a sequence of commands when tapping one single
button. You can for instance switch on your TV, turn on a movie channel and
prepare your VCR for recording by rewinding the videotape. The macro contains an
action list. The action list can be created and edited in the Macro Tool.
Note
In the Macro Tool you first have to select the button that will contain the macro,
also called the target button. Then, one by one, you create an action list by
adding actions to this target button. You can do this by:
Selecting another button and adding its actions to the action list of your
target button.
Adding a delay to the action list.
Adding a beep to the action list.
After creating the macro, all actions you added to the action list are executed
when you tap the button.
