There are times when I would very much like to be able to retrieve a complex template which I used in the recent past.  Saving every possible case as a macros requires forsight (and an ever growing set of quickly non-mnumonic names).  It would be a great help if each of the template-building slots retained a push-down stack of the last n (for not too large a value of n) templates, with any that is reused being promoted back to the top of the stack.

I understand what you mean about foresight, but you do know that templates can be saved in the template dropdown by pressing the "+" button, right? (seeing that you only mentioned "saving the as macros")

I've found that it's enought to save a handful of these, and it will cover all your needs, or at least with just slight modifications.

Mumble, mumble, (hide face).

No, I didn't know about the "+" sign.

I guess I should follow my own advice and go read (rather than search) the Help!

Thanks for the HU.
