No, macros are just basic LanBox commands, but send to the box on 
e.g. a button pressed. Macro's are built-in LCedit+ as a scroll list 
with Run button, but in LCedit for Palm there are pages of buttons 
special made to execute a macro instant. We also have examples of web 
pages with buttons, which work just like macros. So there are many 
ways to control a LanBox.

In IR menu 5 you have the left/right keys (forward/rev) which do 
prev/next cue step (or cue if you have set option 1).

Normally this means that you can step through your cues, and don't 
need to use the play/numbers/play. If you want to scroll through 
several chases/sweeps, or other multi-step cues, it can be handy to 
use a control cue. So with menu 5 set to e.g. layer C, running 
control cue 10 which looks like:

// Cuelist 10 (10 steps), loaded 07-03-2007 13:00
  go 002
001:
  hold for ever
  go 55.3 in layer A
  hold for ever
  go 90.13 in layer A
  hold for ever
  go 98.1 in layer A
  hold for ever
002:
  go 20.1 in layer A
  go 001

Once this cue runs in C, you can only choose to start chases/cues 
55.3, 90.13, 98.1, or 20.1 in layer A, just with the next/prev IR 
keys in layer C.

Many other combinations are possible.
