I have finally decided to have a play with the macros in Homesite and found 
them pretty cool.

For example

Now with a nice keyboard shortcut, I can add a comment block into my pages 
which does the following :-

1) If it's a new document that has not been saved yet, it will ask me for a 
file name. if it's a saved document, it grabs the saved
file name
2) Asks me for my name
3) Asks me to input a comment/remark for the comment block

In the end it looks like this

<!--- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

        Editor  : Steve Onnis
        Edit Date       : 4/4/2005      2:40AM
        Filename        : fileName.cfm
        Remarks : This is a comment which is inputted via a 
                          messabe box popup  

--------------------------------------------------------------------- --->

It even inserts the date into the comment for you and tabs out the comment so 
it is properly indented with your cursor position in
your code!!

I even did one for creating new documents and added it into my toolbar.

Its prolly just me but I think this is pretty cool.

What I would love to do is do some parsing with it and for example have it 
convert an INSERT query into an UPDATE query for me and
visa versa

Is anyone else using this sort of thing?

In Dreamweaver MX I did notice a "Commands" area but its disabled for some 
reason :(
