A macro is a series of commands, executed sequentially, which are stored in a file. You can write macros to minimize the amount of time you spend on commonly used command sequences. You can use macros for activating commands that are not on the screen menu.

To create a macro enter EDIT_FILE and your filename, using 'single' or "double" quotation marks. If the file does not already exist, 2D Access creates a new one, the screen clears with the text cursor at the top of the screen. Type in your macro and save it by pressing [Ctrl] [D]. The 2D Access screen will then re-appear.
