instructions: for example for creating a shortcut for -x mirror funtion, open the script editor, and then type "waitCursor -state on; polyMirror -1 0 0 on; waitCursor -state off;"(without the quotation<"> marks) and then highlight the script(above) and then with your middle mouse button drag it to the shelf...now you will se a new icon with "MEL" in the shelf... how i got the script is pretty simply, i create an object and then i perform the function then i go to the script editor then i see the last function then i copy it... hope it helps...
