CW*>The way that the Pause command works is that it waits and does whatever 
you
CW*>do, until you press Enter.  Then the Enter is absorbed by the Pause 
command,
CW*>and if you need the Enter to go through (to the dialog box), you need to 
sen
CW*>it within the macro after the Pause command.  So, instead of just "Pause" 
on
CW*>that line, make it "Pause Return".  That will fix the problem.

... but, no,  the  problem  persists.  The  PAUSE  command  simply
moves the macro pause-point up one step, to the  GetScrBuff  input
dialog box, rather  than  pausing  to  allow  a  choice  from  the
GetScrBuff menu. The macro still refuses to process  any  commands
beyond retrieving contents from  the  selected  ScrBuff  into  the
edited  file  at  the  cursor  position.  In  other   words,   the
following CUT command is completely ignored  regardless  of  where
the PAUSE is positioned.
Something mysterious about  this  -  maybe  a  limitation  of  the
GetScrBuff command. Thanks anyway,
