CHAPTER 5 Setting up the Instrument Parser
To be certain that this second component does not get lost, please
follow these steps:
a)
Go to the new macro keys that have been added to the macro. For
example, go to the <Alt F>.
b) Delete the second component by placing the cursor before it and
pressing the <Delete> key. For the <Alt F> example, you would
place the vertical cursor immediately left of the “F” and press the
<Delete> key once.
c) Ensure that you leave a space between the first component and
the right “>” bracket. For example, <Alt > and NOT <Alt>.
d) Re-type the deleted second component immediately to the right
of the “>” bracket. For example, <Alt >F.
This correction will ensure that the macro works properly.
Including ‘Special Functions’ in the Macro
Certain Keyboard Characters cannot actually be typed into the Macro
because they control the cursor and other functions. These include
the cursor arrow keys, <ESC>, <ENTER>, <F1>, <HOME> and <END>.
These characters instead can be selected from the list of 37 Special
Functions, on the left side of the [Define Macro] dialog box (see Figure
5.5, Page 59).
To add one of these characters to the Macro, do one of the following:
1.
Double-click on the Special Function or highlight it and press
<ENTER>. You will see the selected character(s) appear in the
Macro definition box, within < > brackets.
2.
Highlight the Special Function. Click on the ‘Add Special
Function’ button. You will see the selected character(s) appear in
the Macro definition box, within < > brackets.
