He then presents an example of how to use macros within function key definitions to achieve the desired effect. However, my solution does work and is simplier if all you want to do is send the string "vax*" followed by a carriage return. There is no need to imbed the string in a macro. Now if you need some real smarts in the characters sent, then a macro is essential. Terry Disclaimer: The above are my opinions and are not the opinions of SLAC, Stanford University, or the DOE.
