Assign a key shortcut.

I'm sure that I used to be able to do this but, if so, I've lost the
note. Is there a free program to record a series of keystrokes and
assign them to a single key? I guess I'd better say that I am using W7
Home Premium.

Thanks in advance.

Although I'm not advocating against free software to perform certain tasks,
it's also a good thing knowing how to do your own scripting.

Thanks! I think Autohotkey might be what I want.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. At one time I had a seven
button mouse with assignable keys but it was not wireless like the
present one that I find convenient.

How old is this link?? This page gives directions to a site to install
MS Intellitype:

http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/do...px?category=MK

But going there, Intellitype is not in the list!!!! Another thing, this
ONLY works with a Micro$oft keyboard, correct?

Thanks Micro$oft.
