I know there are two commercial programs from Borland, SIDEKICK and SUPERKEY, first has possibility to edit a file, select part of it and pass the selected part as it was typed from keyboard; the second allows writing macros, editing them and replying. They both are TSR, callable by pressing a hot-key. Of course they can do a lot of other things, e.g. SIDEKICK has the editor which is WordStar compatible, can import data from screen end export by defining a key, calculator (+-*/ hex/binary/decimal), ascii table, calendar, dialer. I don't remember much about SUPERKEY. And there are several programs for KB macros on simtel in directory PD:<MSDOS.KEYBOARD>, get 00-INDEX.TXT for info.
