AutiIt comes with a few utilities. One of them does record macros.

I can second this. I used AutoIT to automate tasks and it is very easy to 
learn! Not quite as simple as a macro recorder but not a nightmare.

You can use AutoIt for a lot of what you want to do. It's a very easy to learn 
scripting language that selects windows and types for you. Since in Windows you 
can do most tasks with ALT and CTRL keys, typing is enough to do most tasks. 
You can also use it for mouse clicks, but that takes a bit more work. The pods 
that were introduced in FM9 are a problem for AutoIt because the pods don't 
have standard window names and you can use ALT keys on them, but the main 
windows work fine.

The main advantage of AutoIt is that it's really easy to learn and you can use 
it for any Windows program.

Attached is a PPT presentation (in PDF format) and some sample files.

Is there an old-fashioned menu-command macro recorder that's
compatible with FrameMaker 10?

I want to automate some simple but time-consuming build processes. For
example: open book, set conditions, update, save as PDF, set
conditions, update, close book, launch batch file to generate online
help.

Both ExtendScript and FrameScript require that I learn a complex
object model and neither comes with sample scripts or straightforward
documentation on doing the kind of stuff I need to do. Both seem
designed for developers who want to extend or customize the
application, not for end users who want to automate common tasks.
