- From this description it sounds very similar to the Macro facility 
- within Neodesk 3 - is it, or is it better ?
 
I would say, without hesitation, that Codekeys is a much better macro 
facility than NeoDesk 3's.  Actually, NeoDesk's macros are quite 
lame, if you ask me.  (The rest of the program is great though!!)  If 
you want real macro capability, get Codekeys.  Codekeys lets you 
create macros for any application -- now that I think about it, how 
does it work with TOS programs, where there's no DA menu? -- whereas
NeoDesk's macros are just for NeoDesk and even then it's limited; the
macros pause or cease operating or stop or whatever you want to call
it when they encounter dialog boxes asking for mouse input or for .TTP
program input.

But don't buy NeoDesk because of its macro utility.  Buy it because 
it's a great replacement desktop.  If you want macros, get Codekeys.
