1. Return to Setup: Press (Char, (AEI=ER®). You are now in User Mode and
can directly edit the macro. You should see this:

Note that each keystroke in the macro is surrounded by brackets; this macro
currently consists of four keystrokes.
2. You can remedy the problem—not knowing where an application will be
located when a macro switches to it—by including keystrokes in the macro that
move to a known screen in the application before doing anything else. In this
case, two [ESC)'s will take you from any screen in the Appointment Book to the
Calendar View. So, edit the macro: Move the cursor to the opening bracket of
{F352 and type {ESC2{ESC?Z} Then,at the end ofthe macro, type {F182}
(since you're now moving from the Calendar View.)
3. Now, while you're at it, are there any other niceties you want to add to this
macro? How about switching the daily view format to Appts-Only, so that you
see only a list of the scheduled appointments—no empty timeslots. That way,
you can easily display the To-Do list and then, when you're finished looking at
it, you can just press (EEFBE®) to see today's appointments as well.
To add this feature to your macro, you'll need to include these keystrokes after
you've moved to Calendar View: (MENU), (Skttings, (Timeline, (Alppts-Only,
To insert it into your macro, you can type it in as you did above or you can use
this shortcut procedure: Move the cursor to the opening bracket of {FO 2.
Press (HEX), (MENU). Pressing (MEI) before another keystroke tells the
machine that you are adding it to the macro and to therefore not execute it
immediately. You continue inserting the keystrokes: (s), (T), (a), (3EI),
Notice that because the alphabetic characters aren't normally other com-
mands, you don't need to press (HE)first as you must before (MENU) or [ESC).
4. Now go retest the edited macro. You should find it works well.
