The suggested macro does indeed do what I had intended. Thank you so much! Xu

using 'push' in a macro
Sometimes I would like to use 'push' in a macro, but I cannot figure out the way to achieve this. For example, I have: macro attach E push save-entrykill-line/home/xuwang/Downloads/enteryenter xu save What would the correct syntax be? Kind regards, Xu
