     It was I, not Bruce Wilson, who wrote that to you.
And you confirmed my point: the macro convertor is not
worth a hoot.  It may handle very simple macros, but I
never got one that simple.
     So, I started converting my macros by hand, and I
learned a lot about the macro language in doing so -
and I am still learning stuff about it.
     I don't understand what being low vision "seeing
the screen long enough" has to do with writing macros.
If you can write with the computer, if it talks to you,
why can't you write macros the same way?  There's all
kinds of macro help available on screen.  If you need
help with particular macro (or other) problems, ask
here and maybe we can help.
