run("Close") in a macro sometimes records 'close();'

Dear Wayne,

thanks for the quick bug-fixing!
Just adding to that, when the Macro Recorder is open:


  saveAs("Measurements", "/path/to/filename.xls");

gets recorded as such even when called from inside a macro.
And:

  run("Close");

records "close();" when it happens to close an image window, but nothing
when it closes a results window (when called inside a macro of course).
(This turns out to be quite useful when debugging a macro that closes
the wrong window, but I guess it is not the intended behaviour.)

When being run from inside a macro, I think none of them should get
recorded at all.

Best,
Jan
