Hi John,

ok, that brings me to the edit macro-buffer. And of course I can change things 
there.

But these changes only persist for one session (as far as I know). 
In my .emacs file is still the old lisp-code that is not affected by changes in 
the macro-buffer and that will get loaded again the next time I open emacs.

So, how can I for instance transform the (changed) macro-buffer into lisp code, 
so that I can replace my original lisp code?
