I have created a macro and want it to run automatically every time PowerHome is started. How?

Background - I have a dial-up ISP connection. I can make the PC power up at certain times of day - and have put PowerHome in the Windows (95) Startup folder - so it starts automatically on every PC bootup (not elegant, I know - but it works!)

The macro in question works fine when I run it manually from within PowerHome - but I can't seem to set it so that the macro is executed automatically each time PowerHome starts. I have looked at the manual and tried all combinations of settings I can find - but nothing works.

Any ideas greatly appreciated

Thanks

Ron

From the docs...

If you create a macro with an ID of STARTUP, this macro will be executed automatically everytime PowerHome is started.

Thanks (again!) Tony.

Tried it, works fine.

I have kicked myself for not reading the manual properly (p44....)
