I would like to be able to give the macro a name, I suppose, so I can bind it to a key or invoke it with x. ---------- The command define-keyboard-macro is supposed to assign a name to the keyboard macro, keep it in a safe place, and clear the keyboard macro. This would seem to be exactly what you want. (Note, I'm talking about Gosling Emacs here). I haven't tried this myself, but the description seems clear. You could have found out about this using the apropos facility (ESC-?) with the keyword macro and then using describe-command to check out the indicated possibilities. Another possibility is define-string-macro.
