Bill, Get this doc: http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K3_Pgmrs_Reference_Rev_C14.pdf Skip pp 1-4 for the moment and go to pg 5. Follow the numbered cookbook steps in "Creating and Using Macros" to make a sample macro or two. At that point, you'll have an idea of what's going on, and soon you'll be rocking and rolling.
