It does text substitution too ( they call it 'Expand Abbreviations' It also does much more - macros that can open commonly used websites and programs, move the mouse and click it to automate tasks, etc. For instance, I have a daytrading program that is designed to be totally mouse driven. I operate it entirely from the keyboard. As for system resources, I've currently been logged in for almost 9 days (XP SP3) and autohotkey has used 8 seconds of CPU and 7 megs of mem. Its system priority is set to high for really snappy performance. My autohotkey.ini file currently has 2748 lines - it does a lot for me. If I find I do something a third time, I take the time to automate it and soon recoup that time and more. That and my Typematrix 2030DV make my computer a delight to use!! Stu Jason,
