Does anyone know of a macro package, similar to Macromaker, or Automac III, 
which allows a programming interface to a macro?  In other words, I would
like to invoke a macro from a THINK C program rather than from a key stroke
or from a menu choice. 

Alternately, is there a code fragment which would stuff a keystroke
event into the event loop in order to simulate the keystroke which would
invoke a macro?

I realize that this is an unusual thing to do.  Generally, one would not 
invoke a macro from an application program, since the existence of the macro
is not guaranteed.

Thanks,
