Using Macros
SkyLite has a powerful macro facility that you can use to automate routine tasks. You can
record a series of everyday tasks using SkyLite’s macro recorder, or you can create and
edit macros manually using SkyLite’s macro language to automate almost any host task.
Macros can be automatically started to take the user seamlessly into the depth of the host
application. You can set up automatic connections and much more.
The following sections summarize the macro language commands available to the user
and provide an example of how to use the macro language to automatically log on to a
session.
There are two ways of creating a macro in SkyLite. You can either write it from scratch,
or you can use the macro recorder.
