Problem

Symptoms: This problem involves using name search in a macro. If name search is used and a typo is made which must be corrected with a backspace, the macro won't run. The macro will stop after doing the backspace and the display will show a blank screen with a *please wait* message. Also, if the name searched for is spelled incorrectly, the macro will also stop. This occurs with any name search, but appears most often when searching for a font on the base font list (Ctrl-F8). Solutions: Typing in the wrong name creates a Not Found condition, causing the macro to stop because there is no {ON NOT FOUND} command. There are two ways to fix this problem. 1) type in the proper name or 2) place an {ON NOT FOUND}~ command in the macro.
