One of the advantages of using a modern client is to save typing. Let's say we are using the "task" system (described elsewhere in this forum) and often need to type "task available". Rather than doing that tediously every time we can make a macro so we just hit F4 and have it do that for us. First, Press Alt+Enter to open the world configuration dialog, and then click on "Macros" (on the left) to open the Macros configuration. Then, using the list box on the right, scroll down until you see F4, select that, and click Edit:
We are now editing what is sent if you hit F4. Type in "task available" (or whatever you want to do), and click OK, and then OK again to close the world configuration:
Now I can hit F4 and it will send "task available" to the MUD:
Now you can go and set up further macros to save other typing. Don't forget to save your world file afterwards so your changes are not lost (Press Ctrl+S).
