Morgan: Thanks for your reply. Who would you know on the "F-Team" is the expert for the Autokey scripting language? I would definitely like to confirm what you say about the "G" command being unable to "call" another autokey script. I had the same experience as you did, but I just thought that I wasn't using the "G" command properly when things in Fractint didn't happen the way I wanted them to. I'd really like to hear from anybody else who might have some more detailed experience to share with the Fractint autokey scripting language.

For example in a "main.bat" file you would call other secondary files thusly:

What would be the correct "code" in the Fractint Autokey "language" to instruct Fractint to "call" secondary Autokey script files?
As I understand it, an Autokey script is just a fairly direct translation of keystrokes of the sort made during an autokey recording (with the autokey parser effectively taking over from the keyboard). As such, there are virtually no flow control or suchlike constructs, only keystroke commands. (There's a GOTO label construct, but without conditionals, it's only of limited use). In particular, there's no "include" directive. (And if you try and specify a new script during playback via "G", it doesn't seem to work.)
It would be a Good Thing (at least, in my opinion), if the Autokey feature were to be extended to become more of a proper scripting language however. Then I wouldn't need to write Perl scripts to write Autokey scripts :)
