Thanks for the lead, Bob. Who can pass up a plug like that?

Well, I was hoping to stay within the sphere of TP. I did use QuickMacros www.quickmacros.com but found that, despite the name, is a very intricate program. It works fine but chews up a share of ram. I will take a look at Autolt and see how it compares.

Being incurably lazy and working with autolisp I tried to create a macro that brings up the Find dialog and enters the string C: for me, hoping to leave the cursor there waiting for me to complete the name of the function. Alt-S F C: Assign to ctl-shift F Doesn't work. The Find box does not appear ...

I use TP in Autocad; same situation. When I finish my edit I simply hit the X button, which brings up the save/don't save box and I hit save. 2 strokes, to be sure, but really easy.

In Help, under most command descriptions, is a keyboard command ("Keyboard: EditUndo, EditUndoAll"), for example). How is it used?
