Macros - Recording Keystrokes; DLGINPUT(ON!) |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Users would like the ability to record keystrokes the way they did in WP 5.1 without having to use DLGINPUT(ON!). Solutions: The following workaround is available: 1. Launch WP via its Shell Macro Engine (type "MC WP"). You can include any of WordPerfect's normal startup options at the end of this string. 2. To record a keystroke macro, press Ctrl+Shift+F10, give a name, a description, and then record the keystrokes as you did in WP 5.1. 3. To end recording, press Ctrl+Shift+F10 again. 4. Editing the macro must be done in Editor (this ships with WP 6.0). This could be automated by the following macro: GETSTRING(name;"Enter the macro to edit";"Macro Name") StartProgram("C:\WPC60DOS\ED.EXE";name;"c:\WP60";"p";no!) This will allow the advantages of WP 5.1 keystroke macros (such as pausing and moving within a dialog box) within a macro. You cannot, however, have a macro that is part token and part keystroke (other than using DialogInput). Also, you should be aware that the disadvantage of this method is the additional memory required for the MC.EXE program (approximately 17K). If high memory is available, a string such as "LOADHIGH MC/TSR" in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file will help preserve precious conventional memory, while allowing the above method to work.
