Aldo's Macro Recorder does what I need but unfortunately isn't free. Are
there any good free ones out there? The only one I found so far is
WinMacro, which is too basic for my needs.

FWIW - v 2.1 was freeware - don't know if it's still lurking anywhere on
the net (releasing a freeware version for a brief period of time seems
to be a typical pattern with Aldo programs. . . )

some macro apps are listed here:

You might consider AutoHotkey. Larry Keys wrote a macro recorder that is
compatible with it (available on the download page).

AutoHotkey is free and open source and there is an overview on the main
page:

AutoIt doesn't record macros. It plays them back from a text script
file. Still better than anything I've seen, short of payware. I've got
AutoIt scripts for a lot of stuff at my company. They aren't that hard
to write (about the same as DOS batch files) and have more functions
than WSH.

Anybody needs help getting started with AutoIt let me know. I'll give
it a shot.

While AutoIt doesn't record macros directly, people have written utilities
that will record mouse and keyboard actions and write them to an AutoIt
script for you. Look for AutoScriptWriter (theres one for v2 and one for
v3) on the Yahoo Groups page for AutoIt
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AutoItList).
