+Sometimes, it is useful to be able to repeat a sequence of keystrokes
+several times.  @climacs{} allows you to do this through a features
+called @emph{keyboard macros}.
+ at cindex keyboard macro
+ at climacs{} does this by @emph{recording} whatever the user types on
+the keyboard, and then making it possibly to @emph{replaying} the
+recorded sequence.
+
+To start recording a sequence of keystrokes, use the order @kbd{C-x (}
+ at kindex C-x (
+(@command{Start Kbd Macro}).  You will see the word @samp{Def}
+appearing on the mode line, indicating that a keyboard macro is being
+defined.  As long as recording is in effect, every keystroke will be
+saved for later use.  
+
+To stop recording a sequence of keystrokes, use the order @kbd{C-x )}
+ at kindex C-x )
+(@command{End Kbd Macro}).  The word @samp{Def} will disappear from
+the mode line, indicating that keystrokes are no longer being
+recorded. 
+
+To replay a previously recorded sequence of keystrokes, use the order
+ at kbd{C-x e}
+ at kindex C-x e
+(@command{Call Last Kbd Macro}).  When used with a numeric argument,
+this command will repeat the sequence of keystrokes that many times.
