I'm trying to use the best method, whether it be an action string,
macro, etc. to assign the following to an f-key, using j-station.

A user wants to be able to change the pointer size from the small x to
the full page x via the f-keys. The way to step through making the
pointer big is:
Alt+K,P,Alt+P,F, Ok

I know how to assign actions to the f-keys, but I don't know how to
put a string of actions together.

Can anyone clue me in on how to do this seemingly simple task?

Use SET CURSOR TOGGLE to switch between the two settings.

To answer the second part , how to put a string of "command" together to F
keys
Just sepparate the commands by semi colons
for example
I want to choose font 21 then set the text height to 3 and the active colour
to 3, weight 2, and active level 1
say this is a standard thing I'll be going back to over and over in a design
session then I would assign and F key
and the text assigned would be
ft=21;tx=3;co=3;wt=2;lv=1
As an aside you can try each strung keyin first in the keyin then when you
have it fine tuned set up the F key and use the up arrow to recall it into
the Fkey setup window..
There is quite a good tutorial at www.askinga.com with alot of stuff
called the power of keyins
Others have already told you here re the first part on the cursor toggle
