Here ya’ go…
According to the audacity.cfg, it has worked as expected:
[Directories/MacrosOut]
Default=C:\\Users\\Wayne\\Desktop\\
Then where did it put it because it is certainly not on the desktop.
Ok Steve. Since this Macro command didn’t come with much of an explanation (although the name should have given me the answer) I figured out what it does. It only adds the directory location to the Default Directories field instead of having to go to Preferences and set it. That is part of what I wanted to happen.

To be able to set the macro(s) to write the file to specific folders when they are used instead of having to change it in preferences each time. In the parameters, you would set the folder that particular macro would write to the final folder.
The other part was to Export to Wav the file to (Example) C:\My File\Records\My Finished File.wav without any farther intervention. Sorry for not explaining better.
Since this can’t be done, I guess it’s back to the manual export.
Man life can be so hard. . Thanks Steve, the Set Preference Macro will help.

Yes, exactly.
