   I've got a bit of a problem.  I need to, every week day, have each of our three Macs back themselves up.  That in itself
is no problem; we have Fastback II, and it has scheduled macros.  The problem is that the backup drive is located on an
Appleshare file server, which I need to have the Macs log into before they back up.  That in itself is also not a problem;
we have Quickeys, and I wrote a log-on-to-the-server macro with QK that works just great.  My main problem is getting
the two to work together.  QK doesn't have a scheduler, and Fastback doesn't seem to want to record the keystrokes I set
up for the QK macro.

   Anyone have any ideas?  We're using an old version of Quickeys for some reason (it's 1.2.1, and I believe there's been
an upgrade...dunno why it's not been upgraded...)  Is there some way to make Fastback record actual keystrokes, or does
a newer version of Quickeys (or Tempo II, or whatever for that matter) have a scheduler?  Email me, or post...thanks
in advance!
