As the iMacros macros are simple text files, you can add steps by copy&paste. Here's an example:
The Initial Macro
We want to automate a form (in this case it is http://demo.imacros.net/Automate/TestForm1):
The inital recording yields the following macro
VERSION BUILD=12.5.503.8802 TAB T=1 TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS URL GOTO=http://demo.imacros.net/Automate/TestForm1 TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT ATTR=NAME:food CONTENT=2 TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT ATTR=NAME:drink CONTENT=2 TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT ATTR=NAME:dessert CONTENT=1 TAG POS=1 TYPE=TEXTAREA ATTR=NAME:Remarks CONTENT=Thanks<SP>a<SP>lot. TAG POS=1 TYPE=BUTTON:SUBMIT ATTR=TXT:Click<SP>to<SP>order<SP>now 'New page loaded
The Missing Step
Now we find that we missed recording the drink size. In order to add it, we record this single step which results in the following macro:
VERSION BUILD=12.5.503.8802 TAB T=1 TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS URL GOTO=http://demo.imacros.net/Automate/TestForm1 TAG POS=2 TYPE=INPUT:RADIO ATTR=NAME:drinksize
The New Macro
Inserting the new step, we get the new, complete form filling macro:
VERSION BUILD=12.5.503.8802 TAB T=1 TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS URL GOTO=http://demo.imacros.net/Automate/TestForm1 TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT ATTR=NAME:food CONTENT=2 TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT ATTR=NAME:drink CONTENT=2 'here's the new step TAG POS=2 TYPE=INPUT:RADIO ATTR=NAME:drinksize 'the old macro continues TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT ATTR=NAME:dessert CONTENT=1 TAG POS=1 TYPE=TEXTAREA ATTR=NAME:Remarks CONTENT=Thanks<SP>a<SP>lot. TAG POS=1 TYPE=BUTTON:SUBMIT ATTR=TXT:Click<SP>to<SP>order<SP>now 'New page loaded
