tom j: nice to see the suggestions have helped!

I just found a small little program which may help others increase their macros powers!
The program is a small script writing program which copies(records) your key strokes,mouse clicks etc.
It saves them into a script file which can be converted to a exe file with a conversion tool included.
AutoHotkey will expand the windows command option to new heights.
