Accourding to Apple, MacroMaker was a hack whose time has gone and past,  
it was not used by most Mac users, and would take too much effort to make it
system 7 savvey.

They refer people to third party products, such as QuickKeys 2, which is System
7 savvey and AppleEvents smart.

Wish MacroMaker was still here - it might have been primitive, but it was
free, and worked (usually) well.
