Hmmm, I did see the cmd-click/cntrl-click instruction in the tutorial and 
that works ok. It's still mouse work that I wish could be avoided, but it's 
not a serious impediment. I've hooked my Contour Design Shuttle Pro to my 
laptop and I'm thinking of buying a ten-key numeric keypad as well. The 
Shuttle Pro works well for everything that can be done with keyboard 
commands, but is no good for things that require mouse navigation. It sure 
would be nice to press a button on the Shuttle Pro, key in a number or 
numbers on the keypad, and not even have to look at the computer screen to 
change a fade time. I rarely ever look at the ETC board's monitor when 
editing fade time. I can key in new fade times without taking my eyes off 
the stage. (The real stage, I mean. The one with people walking around 
reciting lines, not the stage mode or stage window on the computer.)

I'm going to re-read the section of the manual on macros. I don't think 
I've absorbed that at all yet. Maybe there's something in there that will 
help. You guys really have covered an amazing range of capabilities.
