Ringdale 5250E manual Macro Recording and Playback, Using the Keyboard, Function

Macro Recording and Playback

You can assign keyboard Macros to function keys F1 – F24.

Note: the Record and Play keys on the lower left of the 122-key twinax style keyboard are functional in the window mode. If you are in a Text mode session, however, use Alt+r and Alt+p for Record and Play.

Hit the Record key (or Alt+r), then the selected Function key (F1-F24), and then start entering the keystrokes that you’d like to record. When finished, hit the Record key (Alt+r) again to stop recording.

To play a macro, hit the Play key (or Alt+p), then the function key (F1-F24).

On a PC (104 key) keyboard, use the Alt+r and Alt+p short cuts to assign Macros to the function keys F1-F12.

F(x) refers to the function keys F1-F12

Alt+R+F(x) = Record Macro F(x)

Alt+R = Stop recording

Alt+P+F(x) = Play Macro F(x)

In this example, we are recording a macro to Function key F1.

R 0000 F01

While you are in record mode an R will appear on the bottom of the screen, along with a counter and the Function key that the Macro is being recorded to.
