Editor Macros

An editor macro is a sequence of editor commands that can be executed as one unit. A macro is defined as the sequence of editor commands executed between macro-start and macro-end; it is executed by macro-execute.

The process of defining an editor macro will be terminated (with no macro defined) under the following conditions: 1) if any command reports an error, 2) if a command is invoked in a different window, or 3) if a command is invoked by clicking the mouse.

The commands for macros are:

• macro-end
• macro-execute
• macro-start
