I'm trying to create a few "new custom buttons" to save time. I have the concept down pretty good but I have a problem when a menu, such as the print menu comes up. For instance, what would the macro have to say to have one button that will print to the current setting without having to hit enter or anything else...thanx

Hi,
take ^C^C-plot; ......
The "-" suppress the dialogbox.

Many times it's easier to first enter the commands at the command line, follow the steps that are required for you to reach your goal, then transfer the steps to your button. In this case, after you enter the "-plot", you have to enter the ";" several times (which is the equivalent of the "enter" button)

Code:
^C^C-plot ;;;;;;;
