    If you want get programme with it, you need to allow one macro to call another.
    Your repeat command, would simply become call macro X multiple times.
    You create your limitation by on honouring only N levels of nesting.

    My understanding of the suggestion was repeating a single line, not calling another macro.

    Something like:
    /ac "Basic Synthesis" <me> <wait.3> <repeat.3>

    in place of:
    /ac "Basic Synthesis" <me> <wait.3>
    /ac "Basic Synthesis" <me> <wait.3>
    /ac "Basic Synthesis" <me> <wait.3>

    It wouldn't change the basic rules of what a macro can do, just condense it into using fewer lines (rather like the "<wait.3>" suffix compared to the separate "/wait 3" command that we used to have to use).

    Oh, and yes, I'm in favor of the idea.

    .
    Yes, this is exactly what I had in mind.
