Hi Arthur, Thanks for your response. I don't necessarily have a love for the Macros...just have some that were designed by my employer and they are used specifically for work. I don't know enough about what's under the hood to figure out whether or not I actually need them, and honestly I am not even supposed to be using the Mac to accomplish any of this - so it is just one of those things that'd be nice to be able to do. Now I remember why I couldn't use MacCVS when I made the move to Lion.
