The keywords generated by the macro recorder are based on the first
word of the field label. For example, if a dialog box has two numeric
fields with these labels

     Sensor Width: ______
     Sensor Height: ______

then the recorder will record two identical "sensor=" labels. There are
two ways around this problem. Either change the labels so the first
word is unique, for example

    Width of Sensor: ______
    Height of Sensor: ______

or use underscores

     Sensor_Width: ______
     Sensor_Height: ______
