Special options are available for the Date and Time.
Special options are also available for using Delays and Pauses.
Other special options are available for Symbols, Sound, Window Activation, and Repeats.
Note: Use of the <ALT> key does not always work properly for activating menu commands. (Example: "<ALT>f " for activating the file menu command) If a menu command does not appear to work or to ensure that a menu command will always work, use <ALT> twice (Example: "<ALT><ALT>f"). Two <ALT>s in a row is the same as pressing and releasing the ALT key which will activate the menu.
