: If it is the same as UM with AW 4.0 then you do the following:

: 1. oa-X and get prompt to hit a macro key to record

: 2. Hit a key, say A. If it says recording in the lower right corner of
:    your screen, you are off and running. If it does not say recording then
:    you have selected a key associated with your default macros and it will
:    not record over those. Repeat steps 1 & 2 with different keys.

If 5.0 is anything like 4.0, the default macro set doesn't leave you with 
a whole lot of space, either.  You may find it useful to load in a 
smaller macro file from those supplied and compile that, rather than try 
to cram user macros into the default set space.

There should be plenty of sample files on the disks you were sent.  Study 
them.

While we're on the subject, does anybody (no, not you, Jerry) want to 
give us a user review of Appleworks 5.0's new features (and maybe a 
report on its compatibility with macros written for 4.0)?
