Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Dear Emacs bugs,

I named a keboard macro that I defined via `C-x C-k n' and inserted its definition in a buffer via `M-x insert-kbd-macro'. Here is the code Emacs inserted:

(fset 'fill-number-list
   (lambda (&optional arg) "Keyboard macro." (interactive "p") (kmacro-exec-ring-item (quote ([down return 67108896 up up 134217841 backspace 24 24] 0 "%d")) arg)))

Next, I saved the file following instructions in the *info* file.   In a subsequent Emacs session I loaded the definition with  `load-file'.

  Loading d:/Documents and Settings/chgoodri/My Documents/WM_chgoodri
  My Documents/Business/filllist.el (source)...done

Next I tried to invoke the macro with M-x `fill-number-list'

  fill-number-list: Symbol's function definition is void:
  kmacro-exec-ring-item

I can't figure out why the function definition is void.

bug#6867: insert-kbd-macro2

[Leo]

Hello Charles,

Consider upgrading to the latest stable release i.e. 23.2 in which this
has been fixed. Otherwise put (require 'kmacro) in your .emacs file.

Cheers,
Leo
