While awaiting arrival of the MX-700, I was working with the editor...

I have found no option to place the GOTO PAGE shortcuts before the delays.

Does the GOTO PAGE function wait until the entire macro is executed before moving to the new page? For example, suppose I had two 3.0 second delays in a macro. Would GOTO PAGE display immediately after pressing the macro button or would it wait six seconds?

I ask because I have setup the first page of my MAIN buttons as activity macros. I want each button to turn on the appropriate device and switch to the appropriate sound and video inputs. I've done that using the editor. But I also want it to turn on the TV if it is off (i.e. so pressing "WATCH DVD" would still work if the TV is off).

It takes at least six seconds for the Samsung DLP to turn on -- so the discrete code to change to the appropriate input won't work until then. However, if the TV is already on, I don't want the wife to have to wait six seconds before seeing the DVD page (via GOTO) on the remote. Otherwise she'll just keep clicking "Play DVD" over and over until it appears.

The MX-700 will automatically go to the first page of the device as the first step in a macro. So, if you make the "DVD" button the DVD device (or a duplicate of that device), executing the "Watch DVD" macro will immediately go to the first page of that device without a "Go To" command. "Go To" commands can only be added to the end of a macro.
