So, it actually happened last week that "some nitwit" resetted the 
Lanbox.  Of course I had a backup, but I found out that the layer-setup 
was not in that backup (or anywhere else).
That on itself was annoying, but not really the biggest problem.  I 
noticed that certain macros I made were wrong too!

For example a macro that sets the Transparancy for Layer M to 88% When I 
had recreated the layer-setup as I use it, the macro made Layer B 
transparent for 88% !

So the macros appearently do not look at the Layer ID, but something else?

Is there anyway in which this can be avoided/

Kind regards, Peter
