Extra! keyboard maps not working

I've used 2 previous version of Extra! and I love the ability to assign macros to the keyboard.

I'm now using Extra!PC 6.7. I can assign macros to keys, but when I try to run them, the name of the macro is treated as a string and only printed to the screen.

An interesting point is that when the Keyboard map is used and the user clicks the desired key, the macro runs. The leads me to believe that somehow the mapped key is not firing the ebmngr.exe file first. Any solutions greatly appreciated.
 
Calculus,

I was wondering if you have found a solution yet? I have experienced the same problem. I noticed that when macros are selected from the drop down list inside of the keyboard editor, then the name of the macro is typed. When the browse button is used to select the macro, then it will type the path.

Thanks.
 
No solution yet. That's exactly what I'm seeing. I tried a workaround of launching an application (ebrun.exe) that would call the macro but got the same result.
