To whomever may be out there:
I'm having a problem with saving and retrieving keyboard macros that I define
within an editing session. The following is the sequence of keystrokes, with
comment annotations where appropriate. The purpose is to define a keyboard
macro to: (1) set the fill column at 75, and (2) toggle auto fill mode.
( C- will designate the control character, M- will designate the meta character)
C-X (
C-U 7 5 C-X f
M-X au <alt> f <alt> <cr>
C-X )
M-X name kbd macro$mxplxys ! naming the macro some obsure name
M-X view kbd macro$mxplxys ! assuring that it is named
M-X write kbd macro$mxplxys ! I have tried letting the output
! default to KMAC^V.:EL as well as
! naming a file KEY.MAC
M-X run library$kmac$mxplxys ! I am attempting to force emacs to
! goto the library and execute the
! macro. The result is that the
! macro runs as expected
C-X C-Z ! exit emacs
@emacs filename.txt ! edit another file
M-X mxplxys ! I get the following error
-- undefined or ambiguous macro
M-X load library$kmac
M-X mxplxys ! I get the following error
-- undefined or ambiguous macro
M-X run library$kmac$mxplxys ! I get the following error
-- undefined or ambiguous macro
I am using EMACS on the DEC20. Internal version numbers are:
TECO version 2.00
EMACS version 162
External (using the INFORMATION VERSION command) are:
TECO version 540
EMACS version 760
(I am guessing that the external set is edit_updates not versions)
I would appreciate any help you can give. If you need more info (quickly)
my extensions are: (315) 330 2158... (AV) 587 2158.
Thank you,
Tony Newton
