//This Macro will plant several rows of flax in order to harvest seeds from them
//
//You will need to use double F8 view. Zoom all the way in, then 7 mousewheel clicks out
//(your avatar will be a little smaller than the size of the thumb in the Gather Grass icon
//For this to work you need to **minimize chat***
//Open the Plant menu and pin it to the top or bottom of the screen
//When the macro starts, you will need to quickly mouse-over the Plant Flax Seed instruction
//As the macro runs, your avatar should stay in the middle of the flax beds, but he will stray
//It is up to you to move him back to the middle (or close) when this happens
//It is my belief this is caused by server lag and therefore cannot be avoided
//I use screen resolution 1280x1024 on a wide-screen monitor
