Ambiguous Macro Commands

[Sean Burke-2]

Hello all.
I am experiencing a problem that is pobably pretty common for new-user
macro writers.  When I try to save a sequence of images using the command:
run("Image Sequence...", "format=Tiff name=Stack start="+j+" digits=4
save=/Users/spb/Stack0000.tif");
I get a window asking which sequence to open.  Clearly this is because
both the process for opening and saving sequnces are titled the same.
Here is my question:  Is there a way to make the run command more
specific?
For example, instead of "Image Sequence..." how about "Save>Image
Sequnce..."?  I am using the most recent version of Image/j.

Thanks in advance!

The commands opening and saving an image sequence are not identical.
The one for saving ("Image Sequence... ") has an extra space at the
end.
