AutoHotKey Question

I currently have one macro saved and running automatically each time I
start Windows. I recently created another macro, which I'd like to
auto-start as well. From my experimentation, it appears I will have
two green H boxes in my system tray if I do this.

Is there a way to get both, and possibly more, macros to run from
within one .ahk file?

Thanks for any help.

Yes, each script (.ahk file) can have any number of hotkeys and hot-strings; simply merge
the two scripts together into one file. Be aware that only the top section of the
script -- the part that occurs before the first hotkey, hot-string, or Return -- will be
automatically executed when the script starts. Any other parts of the script must be
launched explicitly, such as by pressing a hotkey or typing a hot-string abbreviation.

By the way, since I don't monitor the ACF newsgroup daily, you might get a faster response
in the future if you post at the forum at http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/

As a side note--
If you'd rather not have the icon at all, add the line "#NoTrayIcon"
to your script. The Help file explains in more detail.

AutoHotKey is an amazing program. It's great even for a non-programmer
like me.
For instance,

:*:""::??{left}

gives instant smart quotes, with the cursor positioned for whatever
goes inside them.

Oops--I just saw that the smart quotes show up as quotation marks, at
least in my browser. In reality though, they're smart quotes. : )
