Are macros limited to two commands? Or has a patch limited them? Or
am I doing something wrong? There are five lines available, but when I
try:

/pause 90, /doability 5
/pause 90, /doability 5
/pause 90, /doability 5
/pause 90, /doability 5
/doability 5

It only performs twice and then stops. Ability 5 is Begging; I've
also tried it with Fishing. Same result. Executes two lines then it's
done.

Apologies if this has been answered somewhere, but I've tried every
search string I could think of and couldn't find anything relevant
using "Everquest" "macros" "limited", etc.

Bah http://www.howstuffworks.com/question608.htm is much cheaper
assuming you have a waterproof keyboard :) Just set the beg hotkey,
position the Dippy Bird so it hits the hotkey and then come back hours
later to find your skill much higher, possibly maxed out.

I have a MultiBind macro that is as follows:

/pause 110, /doability 10
/pause 110, /doability 10
/pause 110, /doability 10
/pause 110, /doability 10
/doability 10

I get Bind Wound executed 5 times every time. Maybe it has something to do
with the ability you're executing. Is nine seconds enough of a delay? I'm
pretty sure fishing requires a longer delay than that.

The pause can also be affected in the zone you're in. I found while
fishing in CS I can have fishing pause almost half as those when I'm
in PoK. I'd guess the crowd can slow the responses and you'd need to
adjust for longer delay in crowded zone. Or just head to an out of
way zone and try there. I mean when was the last time you saw more
than 2 toons in Scarlet Desert in the entire day?

Huh! Thanks for the info. I'll try increasing the pause and see if it
makes a difference. The pause I chose was based on the Hotbutton
becoming available again; ie, back to the state where you can manually
press it. Maybe there's some sort of SonyMacroTimeDelayFactor(tm) or
something. ;-)

Don't know if I'm ready for the Dippy bird yet, but it could come to
that...
