n. A function of front end applications like The Wizard that allows a person to assign multiple commands to a single key, or keystroke combination. Relatively simple to create and very handy, macros are used by players who need to be able to quickly execute a command, or small set of commands. For example, a person could create a macro which would allow them to do a STANCE OFFENSIVE command, followed immediately by an ATTACK RAT command, which could be executed simply by pressing the F2 key, or Alt+R. Macros are simple and quick, but not as flexible as scripts.
