Well, I could only keep quiet so long. I bought Tempo II in 1987 or so, and
I am _still_ waiting for the promised editor that will allow me to see a 
whole macro on the screen at once, and will allow me to back up when editing
(ie "oh, yea, I do want to change that last step." now I have to go back to 
the beginning of the macro and step down to the ?5p?~event I want to change. Not
very efficient.)

I believe this editor was to part of a package of enhancements called "macro-
pac" or some such. It was promised as a free add-on, to come in a few months.
So I bought Tempo II. Well, I've never seen it yet. Admittedly Affinity was
put in a bad position when their developer left (then at least, they were only
a marketing arm) but to come out with another product before the promised
macro-pac was inexcusable. And as far as I know, users are still stuck with
the same less than zero functionality editor.

Perhaps Tempo has a few features that Quickeys doesn't-yet. But here's one
guy who voted with his feet. Forget Tempo, its not worth it.

              you don't _need_ to-they keep their promises in the first place
