Hi Peter,
I tried the (sleep-for 3) idea - there seems to be a problem though - for
some reason, when I playback the macro, the sleep happens first and then the
whole thing gets typed.

What I did was, record the macro and then edit it and insert the M-:
(sleep-for 3)C-j right after the return key after the ssh command.

regards,
Kashyap
