Making a Keystroke Recording with a
Pause to Enter Text
You can make a keystroke recording, and put a
pause in the middle. When you play the
recording, the pause:
• Stops the recording while it is playing and
lets you type something in the middle. It's
like typing a form letter and inserting a new
name on each one .
• Stops the recording after it plays a recorded
command or PF key and lets you type
something or wait for the system to respond
before it plays the next recorded command.
Note: If you are recoding in a host window, any
key that signals the host automatically
pauses. You do not have to include a
pause. These keys include:
• PF keys
• PA Keys
• Enter
• Clear
To record a series of keystrokes with a pause:
1. Press the Jump key to choose a window in
which you want to make a record.
If you want to work along with the
description that follows, jump to a personal
computer window, and follow the rest of these
instructions.
2. Move the cursor to the place you want the
recording to begin.
