Programming in LOTUS

In the same way that it is possible to program in dBASE, it is also possible to do this in LOTUS. Such programs are called Macros. Macros are based on the principle that all procedures in LOTUS Consists of a sequence of keystrokes. A macro is a collection of the keystrokes that make up the procedure one wants to automatize.
