And your language or application is "misc", right? Please review the posts on "How to Ask a Question....".

sorry, i'm just not sure what language would be best. I've never created something like this before. C++, C, or Java works, I guess.
I left it kinda vague because I'm clueless. I'm not asking anyone to write it for me. I'm just asking where to start.

A macro is so-called because it's a "higher level" or macroscopic approach to implementing instructions. In C/C++ it's accomplished with a #define statement that causes substitutions in the source code that result in the actual language statements being substituted in. In Word, the macro language is VB with specialty extensions, sometimes referred to as VBA. In assembler languages, it's similar to the C/C++ approach: definitions that result in transformation to the appropriate code. In WordPerfect, it used to be a C-like proprietary language (I have no idea what it is now), and in pre-Windows WordPerfect was a proprietary language like nothing else you ever saw. You are going to have to consider your application, your OS, and a number of other things. Asking how one does a macro is like asking how one does a meal (or even less specific, actually).
