   A selection bar color of -1 makes it invisible.
   Colors 8-15 cannot be used for the background.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

   DATA FILE FORMAT
   ════════════════

   The data file is a plain ASCII file with no tab characters.

   Columns 1 to 30 are available for identification of macros.
   Columns 31 to 110 may be used for macro text to be autotyped.

   ^M embeds a return in a line. Other ctrl characters are created
   the same way.

   ^^ embeds the ^ character.

   ^ as the last character of the record causes the MagicKey window
   to not be erased after typing the line. Similar to Alt-X.

   The {  character in column 31 identifies what follows as a
   filename terminated by the } character. Pressing [Enter]
   with the selection cursor on that line will load the named
   file.

   Optionally, the window attributes for opening the new file may
   follow the filename, separated by commas.

   Special case: if the selection bar is hidden (color=-1),
   the last record in the file will be checked for a filename
   when Enter is pressed. If there is no filename there, MagicKey
   will exit. Press ctl-PgDn for an example.

   The data file must be sorted into Lexical order for proper
   operation of the alpha search feature. (Pressing a letter
   to move to that part of the data).
