How do I build a .bat type of file for XP?

Often I need to execute a keyboard sequence, like alt+1 +2 +3, all at
one time (alt down then sequentially, 1, 2, then 3).

Is there a way to build this kind of hot key under XP?

Appreciative,

Dwnld'd - skyenergy allows for one character following ALT; would like
to shorten a sequence like: Alt + A +B +C to one hotkey, like A +Z for
example.

You will need to record the keystrokes as a macro. I hadn't updated the
program in quite some time. So I downloaded the new version. It looks
like the program has changed quite a bit and not all for the good. Check the
help files under macro and you should find what you need. It seems much
more complicated to do with the newer program and I couldn't find a way
to edit the macro at all once it's recorded. So much for progress.

Tks gls858 for responding. Why must something that "seems" it could be
something simple, like the DOS-days an .bat files, must be resolved in a
more complicated way.

I had "hoped" that an MVP would have responded with a bit of Microsoft
Magic!

Either learn how to write macros, or you could try this out; you can do that
and more if you need to, it's free and easy to learn:

Don't let the name throw you; it's nothing about remote access. Used it for
years now; no bugs I'm aware of.

The free and excellent Autohotkey will do this and pretty much
anything else you desire. I have used it to automate an ever-
increasing set of repetitive tasks.
