Recording commands in Photoshop?

I've heard this can be done. Would someone care to walk me through it? I have Photoshop 7 and would love to record "modify--expand--by 1 pixel," because I am so damn tired to finiding it. I am woefully...allergic...to using the Adobe help guide. It freezes my computer >< Thanks!

I've been meaning to try and figure this out myself lately. I do know that it can be done, because we did it at my old job...I'll look into it, and post back if I figure it out.

Go to window, and make sure actions is checked.

In the actions window, click the new action button. Name it, and it starts recording. Do whatever you want automated, then click the stop button.

Whenever you want it to do what you just did, click the action, then click play.

You can also assign the action to a command (that's not already being used by something), and then just hit that command every time. (For example, I have F6: Fill black, F7: fill white, F8: Fill FG, F9: Stroke, F10: Expand 4 px, F11: Contract 5 px.)
