In terms of AutoHotkey examples, here are five articles I've written with complete AutoHotkey programs:

They should give you a good sense for how to use AutoHotkey, but none of them uses the Macro Creator. For that, I suggest reading this topic thoroughly:
http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/79763-macro-creator-v384-automation-tool-recorder-writer/

Also, note the link to Pulover's own page:
http://www.autohotkey.net/~Pulover/

You may also want to google "autohotkey macro recorder", as there have been other efforts at it. But I don't have my own small demo/example of using any of them (and my bandwidth to create one is limited at this time). Regards, Joe
