Have *two* buffers open before you define the macro.

No, but I'm working on it. The "cedmacro" file format is quite straight
forward, so expect a program any year now.

One strangeness I ran into was that 99% of interactions with CED are
through requestors which can be handled automatically from ARexx. The
*one* exception I found was the "press key you wish to bind" ARRRGH!
Support for human readable macro files is a *MAJOR* wishlist item,
I hope it will be "in there" for the next version.
I'm assuming here that CED has done well enough that there will actually
be a next version. Does anyone out there have a gut feeling for the
quantity that they have sold?
