Hi Arthur,
Thanks for your response. I don't necessarily have a love for the Macros...just
have some that were designed by my employer and they are used specifically for
work. I don't know enough about what's under the hood to figure out whether or
not I actually need them, and honestly I am not even supposed to be using the
Mac to accomplish any of this - so it is just one of those things that'd be
nice to be able to do. Now I remember why I couldn't use MacCVS when I made the
move to Lion.
