Works 2.00: Macro Keystrokes Lost Sizing or Moving Windows

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

In Works 2.00, if a macro contains any steps that include sizing or moving a window, when the macro is run, subsequent keystrokes (macro steps) may not execute.

For example, if you record a macro that alters the current window size and then enters text on the screen, when the macro is run, the window will be resized, but the text that is meant to follow may not appear.

A workaround for this occurrence is to insert a PAUSE of 0.1 (1/10th of a second) immediately following any window sizing or moving actions when recording a Macro.
