SUMMARY
=======

Many Macintosh keyboards do not have function keys F1 through F12. However, you
can still begin and stop recording macros on these systems.

1. To begin recording a macro, choose Macros from the Program menu. If you are
  using Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, click Macros from the Tools menu. Click
  the Record button. After you define a key combination for the macro and click
  OK, the following message will appear:

  Recording <keystroke combo>. SHIFT + F10 to stop

2. Record the macro.

3. To stop recording the macro, press COMMAND+OPTION+SHIFT+0 instead of
  SHIFT+F10.

If a macro is not currently being recorded, pressing COMMAND+OPTION+SHIFT+0 opens
the Macro Key Definition dialog box so that you can start recording a new macro.
