 Hi,
 A couple of things come to mind.  Are you saving the macro to a key?
 In which case you have to run Qconfig.exe, after editing
 Qconfig.dat, and select (K) for Keys, then (S) for Save changes and
 quit for Qconfig to update Q.exe to contain your new macro. I have
 my snail-mail address tied to my F12 key - handy for letter writing.
 I see on further reading of your message that you used Macro Record.
 To save that macro for further use in another editing session, you
 have to save it, and any other macros you create, to a file using
 Macro Write ( Esc, M, W  is the command) which will prompt you for a
 file name for the new file.  It does say in the docs however, that
 macros assigned only to the scrap area will not be saved. In future
 editing session you need only to execute Macro Read (Esc, M, R) and
 enter the name of your macro file for the editor to load all your
 stored macros for that session.
 Also, in macros, any text you wish to be included, like the sample
 you gave above, HAS to have quote marks around it, exactly as you
 have done above, or it wont be there when you try to execute the
 macro.
 Hope this helps some.
