Macros resource

Description
Defines a set of macros for use by the Macro action and by the Macros menu in x3270, c3270 ( new in 4.1 ) and wc3270 ( new in 4.1 ).

Macros can be defined in one of two ways. The macros resource defines a set of default macros. The macros.host resource defines a set of named macros for use when connected to that host. It overrides macros.

Each definition is a multi-line resource. Each line looks like: macro-name: Action...

Examples
Define two named macros for use when connected to any host: x3270.macros: \ rehash: String(rehash) Enter\n\ Re-format text: String(":s/hello/there/g") Enter Define three named macros for use when connected to the host myhost.mycompany.com: x3270.macros.myhost.mycompany.com: \ dologin: String(user1) Tab String(secret) Enter\n\ runjob: String("submit myjob2") Enter\n\ logoff: String("logoff\n")

Version history
The macros menu was added to x3270 3.0.2 in 1994.
