Well I'll give a little example of my problem. This would be my example file for the macro I'm trying to load from my hotkey file via the use of /loadhotkeysHOTKEYS 30 2 macro -65536 2 2 Example  Macro /say Hello this is my macro/danceNow this is how EQ2 saves a multiple line macro when you use the /savehotkeys command. Using the /savehotkeys command I was able to get that macro saved and the /loadhotkeys command was able to bring it back and it worked fine, perfomed the say and the emote.The problem arises that if I try to just type that in a file with exactly the same format/layout, instead of having the two seperate commands it just gives me:"/say Hello this is my macro;/dance"As a single say command. I tried swapping the commands around and then only got the dance and no say at all. I tried adding colon's to end each command and all I got was the same outcome as the botched say above with one minor exception, it now looked like this:"/say Hello this is my macro ; ;/dance ;"Obviously not much help.This one has me stumped as to why it's happening as like I said if I wrote out that macro in game and 'saved' it would appear in the file in the format listed above and would work perfectly, but when I type the same structure in it doesn't. The only thing I could think of that might be causing it was carriage return characters but that didn't seem to be the issue.Argh the frustration. In case people ask why don't I just write out the macros then use /savehotkeys it's because I'm trying to import a large amount of text already in a file into EQ2 macros and it would take me quite some time to retype them all.

I think they removed the ability to use ; to make macros with several commands on one line recently (a few months back)
