I have a number of packages which are supplied with their own editors
(Benchmark Modula-2, ArgAsm) which provide integrated compile-link-run options
which are really handy. However I want to standardise by using my favourite
editor CED for all my program writing, but don't want to lose my one-key
compile options.

Question: can I define macros to save the file and then execute a (resident?)
command to compile/link it?
I'd like to press a key to save the file and execute M2 on that file, then do
an M2Lk, another key to do a similar thing but call LC etc.

I've tried to get to grips with macros to do this myself but I lack the
understanding/experience.

If the macros won't suffice, will Arexx do the job? I don't have Arexx nor do
I know what it does, but I am willing to buy it if it will solve my problem.

Thanks in advance,

Phil
