Nocturnal, I think Maptool does have its own forums but I don't have the link (just google maptool and browse the site) but here is a couple pointers:

The numbered buttons on the bottom right - rightclick on one of them to bring up its properties. There you can name it, do the macro commands and tell it to broadcast the name you chose when you click on it. Example:

Button #1: I rightclicked it and for label I put Stealth. I didn't hotkey but you can if you like. Under command, I put /me fades into the shadows ... hit enter to start a new line and then put [1d20 + 9] so it would autoroll a d20 dice and add my +9 to stealth to the result. I was through for commands so I then ticked the Include Label button so it would say whatever label I gave the button before it did any of the commands. So, when I click the button I labeled Stealth this is what happens:

Stealth

/me fades into the shadows ...
[1d20 + 9]=[12 + 9 = 21] [21]

That above wouldn't, of course, be /me it would be whatever my name is.
