Perhaps a little off-topic, but I am expanding my collection of DDUtil macros for my 6500.  It is amazing how I lived for three+ years without them!

But how can I get DDUtil to automatically load my list of macros and link them to the macro buttons without needing to manually "Load" them every time I start up DDUtil?  I have looked in the online help, but I meed to have missed it.

    Found it, finally!  Under DDUtil Setup > Files, Macro Data File under F6000, enter the file name I have been saving my Macros.  Don't know how I missed it, right under my nose..... or mouse!

    Ken,
       Assuming you have saved the macros under Setup>macros, go to Setup>Files and add your Macros Data File just saved to the F6000 box.
      And when you done with that you should also Options>Backup user settings..

    DDUtil saves the macro file name in the user settings file. If you have added some macros to the grid on the Macro tab and then saved them to a specific file name they should be recalled when DDUtil next starts. Using the Macros function is fully defined here.
    If this is not happening then the user settings file may be corrupt and needs to be reset per this wiki article.
