Just because it hard to remember all the "tricks", it would be useful if there were a help or flyover type hint box when using the filter box with the Event log. The hint box would only need to contain information like in this post.

Ask and ye shall receive. Ive added this feature to the new beta.
Since the new PowerBuilder version of the upcoming beta (11.5) allows for these toolbar tips quite easily, this is an open call to anyone who would like a toolbar tip added to PowerHome.
Just post them to this thread and I'll do my best to add as many of them as I can. Be as explicit as possible on what the tip should say and where it appears and I'll get it done.
Thanks,
Dave.

Maybe a comment box is needed in the "Value" column when working with formula's in a macro.
I personally am a bit confused whether I should pick "post" or "immediate". Also, I have a number of older macro's (that came up through the earlier versions of PH) where this "value" field is blank until I clink into it....then one of the choices populates it (immediate or posted).
This is what I found from searching the forum....

8) is "Immediate" the recommended selection for nested macros?
Dave's Answer:
It depends upon the desired result. "Immediate" will cause execution control to transfer immediately to the called macro (temporarily suspending the parent macro). When the called macro ends, then control will return to the parent macro. If the macro is "Posted", then the called macro will be added to the end of the execution queue (which is processed first in, first out). The execution queue will not be processed until the parent macro finishes execution (everything in PowerHome happens one at a time, in order). Another possible control item is the "SubMacro" command. This is very similar to "Immediate" except that the called macro is treated like an extension of the parent macro instead of a separate entity. This becomes important with "Wait" commands. If a parent macro calls another macro with "Immediate", the parent macro is suspended and the child macro is executed. If the child macro has a "Wait" command, the child macro effectively terminates when it goes into wait mode. This means that control is then transferred back to the parent macro. When the child macro's wait time has expired, it will be reloaded back into the execution queue with the commands following the "Wait" command being executed. This, of course, may not be the desired effect as the user may not want control to return to the parent macro until the child macro has completed in it's entirety. In this case, the SubMacro command will give the desired effect since the child macro is treated as if it were the parent macro.
