• Comment / Delay. Delay for an amount of time or just insert a comment.

• Launch Program. Launch an application.
• Log to File. Save specific text or text in the Windows clipboard to a file.
• Mouse Click. Include "click", "double click", "button down" and "button up" of the left button, the middle button and the right button.
• Mouse Move. Move the mouse pointer to the specified position.
• Open Document. Open a document file with the associated application.

• Pause. Pause the running macro. Press Alt+Pause to resume running the macro.
• Play Sound. Play a sound file in WAVE format.
• Random Delay. Delay for a random time.
• Run Macro. Call another macro, which does not include a "Run Macro" command.
• Activate/Move/Close/Minimize/Maximize window. Search for the window with specific title and perform corresponding operation. It is supported to use wildcard character "*" and "?" in the window title. "*" matches any string of zero or more characters. "?" matches one character. For example: "ac?h.*" matches "acah.bmp". If "<Run-Time Foreground Window>" is used as the window title, Journal Macro will perform operation on the foreground window when the command is executed.

Hints:

• It takes some time, more or less, to execute a command, so it is offen needed to specify the delay option of the command or insert a following "Comment / Delay" command.
• Alt+Enter is another shortcut for the "OK" button in the macro editor toolbox and the keystroke editor toolbox.
• Available shortcut keys when the command list is focused:

  Shortcut Key	Command
  Insert	Add command
  Delete	Delete command
  Shfit+Up	Move up
  Shift+Down	Move down
