Help with my selling macro

Hi there.

The selling part of my macro appears not to be functioning correctly - it finds the item to sell, but sits at the little how many (20) window - if i press the shift key while at this spot, it sells the items ok.

What am i missing???

did you make sure you've sent a shift key down message ?

Ok, I am new to this so please forgive me if I'm missing something. I'm trying to get the SellItem.mac that comes with the program to work. I type /macro SellItem "Fish Fillets" and it will click into the merchant, then close out of merchant, say Couldn't find a 'null', then ends the macro. I've tried /macro SellItem Fish Fillets. I'm using the old UI to do this, any help would be appreciated.

in the previous exampe you used
/finditem similar "$p0"

but where did you specify what "$p0" was

i dont know why i am doing this but i quit playing eq about a month ago but i decided to try and learn the scripting language just incase i ever decide to get back into eq.

Salutations,
$p# is an argument variable, it is defined when you run the macro. In this case, when you run /macro sellitem "milk" $p0 will be set to milk
Now if we had a macro that you wanted to use more then one variable: /macro testmacro "milk and cheese" "some milk" "some cheese" "honey" $p0 is milk and cheese, $p1 is some milk, $p2 is some cheese, and $p3 is honey. The quotes are put around the variables so that if there are spaces, it is put into the same variable (milk and cheese) but the quotes themselves are not put in.
