It's likely that the problem is related to one or more of the commands, so it's hard for people to offer much advice without knowing what specific commands are being run (preferably with a sample buffer so they can reproduce the freeze). However, two very general ideas that come to mind are: - Try running the macro from "emacs -Q" with only the minimal setup/configuraton to make the macro runnable. If this doesn't get stuck, it implies some package or configuration is contributing to the issue. - If you have some familiarity with debuggers, run emacs under GDB and then use "kill -TSTP PID" when emacs gets stuck, which will allow GDB to kick in. Then you can get a backtrace and see what's happening. Hope that helps John
