As was previously mentioned, you simply record the macro, carry out your keystrokes, then terminate. I'm not clear from your description if you plan to open the file manually or have your macro do it.  So do you want different macros, one per file, that you will regularly modify, or do you want one routine that will open any file that you designate?  Let's take the latter case.  

You're going to enter the file name at the time of macro execution.  Hit n-chord followed by the character you want to use to invoke the macro.  This starts recording.  Now type ochord, f, o, and hit the ch-chord twice. This pauses the macro for user input.  Type some dummy text, presumably a name of an existing file, and hit e-chord. This will open the file.  Go to bottom of file, press ing-chord d, then ing-chord t, and hit n-chord to stop recording.  

Let me know if you have further questions.

Dean

I am looking for specifically info on writing macros for the BNS 2000.  I need to know how to have the macro open a file go to the bottom of same do a double line (46 chord) insert a date and time and another 46 chord and terminate.  TIA FOR ASSISTANCE.  I SIMPLY DO NOT RECALL HOW TO DO THIS ANYMORE.  I AM ALSO INTERESTED IN THE MATH FUNCTIONS FOR THE CALCULATOR WHICH IS THE MAIN USE I MAKE OF THE UNIT THESE DAYS.

FINALLY DOES ANYONE HAVE AN irZIX (I THINK) ADAPTER FOR SAME?
