It is possible for Macintosh users to create macro files to automate
repetitive system functions (similar to .BAT and .COM files in MS-DOS).
In the Macintosh OS, this is possible within the MPW Shell and with Manx C.
On a Macintosh II with A/UX, this can be done with shell scripts within
the C, Bourne, and Korn programming environments.
For more information, see the documentation that accompanies these
products.
The Finder doesn't allow these capabilities from the Desktop.
