Hello, all!

  For all the bad talk it's been getting, I've found macro maker useful.
For example, in my terminal emulator program (Smartcom II version 3.0B)
I have macros set up so that the arrow keys on my extended keyboard work
in emacs.  Very useful.  Now, the problem is, when I switch to my word
processor (under multifinder), the arrow keys still give the
smartcom/emacs commands.  I have found a workaround -- If I open
MacroMaker and then close it right away, the macros work OK.  The same
problem happens the other way around, too.  Switch from FullWrite to
Smartcom, and the keystrokes aren't translated correctly.  The puzzling
thing is, the list of macros under the macromaker icon change contexts
correctly -- so the list of macros does not agree with macromakers
behavior.

   Am I the only person who noticed this?  System 6.0.3, finder 6.1. 
I've got a work around, but its annoying.  Is there a bug-fix version
out?  Anybody got a patch?

Puzzled,
