IMHO most of these features exists or would be easy to achieve, there is a macro ring and there are options to edit macros, and another to view a macro as elisp code... (but I can't remember how... hmm naming a macro and describing the function shows a vector of pressed keys) Whats really missing is a menu and/or a toolbar too assist macro creation. The possibilities are just too complex to remember them easily... Cheers Rolf
