Disk Mode Enhancements in Version 3
Macros
Scroll the macro list until the entry before which you want to insert is highlighted. In the above
display, any new macro entries added by this load operation will be inserted in the macro list
just before the entry for METALIC.KRZ.
Press OK to enable the insert point. Press Cancel to disable the insert point.
The display will return to the Load|this|file|as: prompt. If a macro insert point has been
set, an indicator will appear at the top left of the screen:
(Macro|insert)||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||Load|this|file|as:200...299|||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||300...399|||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||400...499*||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||500...599*||||||||||
Insert|||||||||||||||Macro|||OK|||Cancel
The insert point can be disabled before loading, by pressing Insert again and pressing Cancel
from within the Set|Macro|Insert|Point prompt. The (Macro|insert) indicator will
disappear. Similarly, the insert point can be changed before loading by pressing Insert again
(the screen will highlight the current insert point,) scrolling to a different insert point, and
pressing OK.
Saving and Loading a Macro Table in a .KRZ file
Macro tables can be explicitly saved or loaded (without being executed) using Save Individual
Object and Load Individual Object. If for some reason you wanted to save a macro table that
was being worked on in-progress, and then be able to load it back in later on to be worked on
some more, you would use this method. The macro table can be selected for saving and loading
just like any other object. When you load in a macro table using Load Individual Object, it will
overwrite any macro table already in memory. Once it is loaded in, you may have to go to the
MACRO page and enable Macro Record mode to continue to record further load operations into
the macro.
The Save Everything feature of the Save dialog will not include the macro table. This is done to
prevent inadvertent distribution of what would most likely be a meaningless macro table to
other users.
Aborting a Macro Load
There is a way to abort the process of loading a macro file. Aborting can only be done “between”
files that are being loaded, and not during the load of any one file (short of powering off or soft-
resetting the machine with [simultaneously pressing [+/- 0 CLR]...but this is not recommended!).
Aborting a macro load is done by pressing and holding down either of the Increment (+) or the
Decrement (-) buttons that are located just below the Alpha wheel. This should be done at least
one-half second before you anticipate the current file to finish loading, or else the K2000 will not
sense that you wish to abort the load.
