+This was the plan:
+> What needs to be done :
+>  - Unpack Macro needs to create the Dummy palettes 1 through 10, 11 through 20
+>  - Unpack Macro needs to create the Bump Palletes 101 & 102
+>  - Unpack Macro needs to create Playbacks( 11 thro 20, 21 thro 30, 31 thro 40 & Cuelists ( 101 thro 110 )  for the Macros
+>  - Unpack Macro needs to Link Macros to Cues in Playlist
+>
+>  - Unpack Macro needs to record the Playback Groups for the Bump Selection
+>  - Unpack Macro needs to create a Layout View and move the Selection Cue Lists to the Colour picker
+>  - Layout at position X & Y
+>  - Unpack Macro needs to add the Colour Selection Button Macros to the layout view
+The macro shown here does the first half of the tasks.
