Hi Eli,

Aha! Thanks!
This works:
(defun eek (str)
"Execute STR as a keyboard macro. See `edmacro-mode' for the exact format.\n
An example: (eek \"C-x 4 C-h\")"
(interactive "sKeys: ")
(execute-kbd-macro (read-kbd-macro str)))
(defun rd () (interactive) (redisplay 'force))
(defun s () (interactive) (rd) (sleep-for 1) (rd))
(defun eeks (str &rest rest)
(eek str)
(if rest (progn (s) (apply 'eeks rest))))
(eeks "RET ab" "cd" "ef")
Cheers =),
