kind of. Think of it more as something like glade, i.e. a gui based code generator. I guess I'd distinguish this from a macro in that I think of the macro as recording something like
pick_menu simulation_setup fill_entry tran_start 0.0 fill_entry tran_stop 1.0 click_button OK pick_menu simulation_setup fillentry tran_stop 1.0u click_button OK i.e. it records exactly what you did which I probably don't care so much about. But this is a symantics issue that probably isn't that important as long as the result is a program that can run the simulation without out lots of gui commmands in it.
