macro on shell script ?

sorry for the delayed reply... but
hey, i tried your suggestion and it worked fine... it just does not apply for scripts with loops. coz you said that if the selection requires only a carriage return just leave a blank or use ^M or ^V. well the blank thing work it just that if the script that you are trying to run the macro will loop at the end the output will be that it will endlessly try to throw in the carriage return as a result of an endless loop.
to illustrate the script constains the following loop:
until "$quit" = "y"
do
(menu1)
(menu2)
(menu3)
...
done
see my problem? after issuing all the command at the end it will see only carriage return. i only solution i could think of is to quit the application and try to run the script again. anyway, thank you very very much for the reply. i learned a lot from this site. i hope to seek more answers from all of you

script - make record of a terminal session SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename] DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS. The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed. OPTIONS
The following option is supported: -a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it. NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |CSI |Enabled | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO

script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script. SunOS 5.10 30 Jan 2004 script(1)
