   Record:
   ------
         Record picks up all input events (mouse and keyboard) and saves
         them to a file ( 10 bytes per event ). It should be started from
         CLI by:  run Record <file name> <buffer size> , buffer size is
         an optional parameter (500 default) that specifies the number
         of events in memory buffer before writing them to a file. The
         number you actually use depends on the amount of free memory
         you can afford. When this buffer becomes full, the Record blocks
         all new input while writing it out.
         To start recording press F10 key, the mouse pointer will be forced
         to the upper-left corner of the screen and all subsequent mouse and
         keyboard activity will be registered. Press F1 key to stop
         recording.

      EXAMPLE:  run record df1:x 2000


   Replay:
   ------
         Replay reads the file created by Record and sends the events back
         to the input stream. All mouse and keyboard activity that was
         recorded previously, is reconstructed. Replay is launched from
         CLI by: run Replay <file name> <number of repetitions> <buffer size>
         Number of repetitions is an optional parameter ( 0 = infinite,
         default). Buffer size also optional and has the same significance
         as for the Record. Press F10 key to start replay.
         You can pause the replay session at any moment by pressing F10 key.
         To stop replay press F1 key.

      EXAMPLE:  run replay df1:x 1 2000


   Record-Replay works fine with all of the AMIGA software that respects 
   multitasking and I had no problems using it with DPaint, PageSetter,
   TextCraft etc.


   NOTES:
   -----
      Make sure that the state of the software is exactly the same in
      the beginning of record and of replay. Do not hurry! And specially
      when opening icons, loading, writing or reading files, make pauses long
      enough to compensate for longer file access in some cases etc.
      Give system a time to breath.


      Enjoy!
