Thanks for the help everyone.

I think it was, but don't recall for sure.

So the following should be correct:

<Go To Cue>##. (the cue to be edited)
<Channel>##<Focus Palette>##<Enter>.  (Or click on the Palette label in Editor?)
<Record><Enter><Enter>?

I will try it when I go to the theatre tomorrow.

Thanks again.
