I think you can only use keys like abcdefg... and numbers for macros.

No, Not only that. In a game, i saw / and * that were macroable keys... I dont know why that is happening. I once saw a list of macroable keys but i dont know where those are anymore.

when you define these macro's, they are called Multiply and Divide, but that didnt help.

no macros work.....Could there be something in my code to make my macros not work?

I made a demo, and it is something in my code =(
time to search for the problem!
*edit*

i had other script files that didnt let it work

client/script = "<STYLE>BODY {font: Rockwell}</STYLE>"

once i took it out it works fine =)

Thanks to Crispy for bringing up the macroable keys, change * to "multiply" and / to "divide"

actually / and * worked fine. Like i said , i called another client/script and it screwed up my macros.
