CAL Keystroke Macro in 8.5???

http://www.cakewalk.com/DevXchange/article.aspx?aid=110
 
This url provides a procedure for CAL keystroke macros, but it doesn't work in 8.5, as far as I can tell.   No keystroke macros in 8.5 or x1????
 
Alternatively, any success with non Cake keystroke macro programs?
