Applixware Office uses the macro mechanism described in Preferences as the basis for user extensibility. For simply repeating a series of actions, the macros that those actions invoke can be recorded and saved as another macro. This can then be tied to a menu entry, toolbar icon, or command keystroke by the user. Should they need to be changed, the Macro Editor can be used to edit them.
Further extensibility is obtained with the addition of real programming language constructs: variables, conditional execution, and loops. For building complete applications, Applixware even offers object-oriented extensions to the basic facilities. The programming language is nothing special, and better extension languages are available, but it does the job nicely. My own first efforts - integrating Applixware Words and the Macro Editor with Perforce - can be downloaded for those interested. Though it is of use only to the true power user, this extensibility is an invaluable addition for them.
