I suppose I could do this, but I'm not currently running any macro
programs on my Mac, and I'm loathe to start.  I don't trust
MacroMaker (which is free), I don't like AutoMac (which came with
Microsoft Word), I don't trust the software which came with our
DataDesk keyboard, and I'm not really prepared to spend the money on
QuicKeys at the moment.  Not to mention that the macro approach
would be slower than an FKEY.

But I haven't gotten any response yet on such a thing existing....
