Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Dear Emacs bugs,

I named a keboard macro that I defined via `C-x C-k n' and inserted its definition in a buffer via `M-x insert-kbd-macro'. Here is the code Emacs inserted:

(fset 'fill-number-list
   (lambda (&optional arg) "Keyboard macro." (interactive "p") (kmacro-exec-ring-item (quote ([down return 67108896 up up 134217841 backspace 24 24] 0 "%d")) arg)))

Next, I saved the file following instructions in the *info* file.   In a subsequent Emacs session I loaded the definition with  `load-file'.

  Loading d:/Documents and Settings/chgoodri/My Documents/WM_chgoodri
  My Documents/Business/filllist.el (source)...done

Next I tried to invoke the macro with M-x `fill-number-list'

  fill-number-list: Symbol's function definition is void:
  kmacro-exec-ring-item

I can't figure out why the function definition is void.

Hello Charles,

Consider upgrading to the latest stable release i.e. 23.2 in which this
has been fixed. Otherwise put (require 'kmacro) in your .emacs file.

Cheers,
Leo
