I am looking for a macro usable in windows95 working in a similar way
that a batch file worked for DOS. I have never used "recorder" of
windows 3.1 and do not know how it works. Very often I have identical
sequences of keystrokes and/or mouse movements which I would like to
combine into one keystroke.

If nothing is available for free I would be interested in paid programs

Hello, vaac-ga,

AceMacro 2.0 is free and supports the features you're asking for;
Windows 95 is cited as a compatible operating system. You can find it
via the brothersoft software information site:

MACRO software index

A commercial solution that even more specifically addresses your
situation -- it is marketed specifically to those who used or heard
about Macro Recorder for Windows 3.1 but were disappointed to find it
gone in Windows 95 -- is available from Kra-Tronic Corporation's web
site:

Macro Recorder / Mouse and Key Recorder
http://www.kratronic.com/recorder/

This program appears to still be available for $23. A shareware
version exists, but the downloadable shareware version is not the
older version that supports Windows 95. You can purchase that from
them directly according to the page.

Google search strategies:

freeware "macro recorder" "windows 95"
"macro recorder" "windows 95"

Thank you for the opportunity to work on this question.

It is now a month but I had no time to evaluate your answer. I assume
it is good. If not I will have to resubmit it when I  have more more
time.
