Using macros to send keystrokes to a device
The Macros menu in the Video Viewer provides you with an easy way to send
multiple keystrokes to a server or to send keystrokes that you cannot generate
without affecting your local system, such as Control-Alt-Delete. The Viewer
provides a list of default keystroke selections; however, you may set up your
own macros, as well as change the set that displays by default, by selecting the
Configure option at the bottom of the Macros pulldown menu.

Sending keystrokes to a device
Select the Macros menu in the Viewer and choose the macro to send to the
server. Figure 3.11 shows the default macros that ship with AVWorks. If you do
not see the keystroke you need, select Configure to access the Macros dialog
box. Here you can create, modify, delete and group macros.
Macro Groups settings are specific to each target device and, therefore, can be
set differently for each server. These settings are placed into the local client
database and applied each time you launch a session to a specific device.
To change the default Macro group:
1. Select Tools - Session Options in the Viewer. The Session Options dialog
box appears.
2. Click the Macros tab.
