Subject: CP/M WordStar?

       The answer is: Yes, sort of.

       Wordstar 4.0 has a sort of macro-recording and replaying facility
connected to the <ESC> key -- You can record up to about 256 characters
(I think) which will be associated with a letter, and stored on disk.
       To replay the macro, hit <ESC> and a letter -- for instance, I
have a macro to delete all *.BAK files (y*.bak^M) in the E key, so I just
type <ESC>E to wipe out the BAKs . . .

       If this will do (and you can call another macro from a macro, but
I don't know how deep you can nest 'em) for your purposes, then yes, WS
_does_ have macros -- otherwise, sorrrreeeeeeeeeeeeee . . .
