The macros on this page should give you  an idea of how to use the macro player of Assistant/2.
There are more macros included in the Assistant/2 archive.
If you do not know how to create a macro, please read the corresponding pages of the Assistant/2 documentation.

If you have created a macro that might be useful for other users,  please mail it to me and I will place it on this page.

          Description: Euro calculator

    Macro:  '<EXEC_IC:"X:\PATH\EURO.EXE Rate">'

    Description: Peter Nielsen of PMView actually redid his program when I requested a change
    for convienient multi-scanning, making it much faster. The macro is really simple but fantastic to have-with it
    I can leave the mouse cursor on the CFM scan button. After scan activation the F12 macro changes from CFM to PMView,
    opens the file save box, and with Peter's sticky number I just type the invoice number in and hit enter.
     
    Macro:'<ALT-DN><F6><ALT-UP><ALT-DN>F<ALT-UP>A'

    Description: This is used to enter multiple scans to disk.
    After statring the first scan and hitting the F12 hotkey to bring up PMView's save
    box, the number of the invoice is entered, the ticket is switched, then by using
    F8 as a hotkey for the second macro, it enters the invoice to disk, activates the
    ALT-ESC combo to highlite the CFM box, and activates the next scan. So, it's F12-F8
    making the scanning very fast & easy.
     
    Macro: Please note that the numbers in front of the commands specify the delays. You might need to adjust them.
    '<649CR><593ALT-DN><344ESC><149ALT-UP><742CR> '

    Description: The Postroad macro is set so as soon as I open the program I hit F11. This activates the Get Mail,opens the Get Notes,
    brings up the dialer and hits Start Dialer. I can do other things and my mailbox is up when I get back.
    Both macros are set for one key. This is for speed. No mouse movement is used in the macro so I don't have
    to set the mouse before activation. All is done by key commands, at my set speed.

    Macro: Please note that the numbers in front of the commands specify the delays. You might need to adjust them.
    '<1602ALT-DN><546f><266ALT-UP><313v><1445CR><4328NUMLOCK> '
