/log

opens or creates a txt file under everquestII/logs/servername called eq2log_charname.txt
saves your /say about what it is,
saves your current loc which is accurate and totally copy/pastable later
closes the log file.

You can include the map name in that /say as well, if you're cruising around and bound to forget where that poi was meant for.
OK, here is an idea. Create 2 macros:

macro1:
/: log ; say EQ2MAP_START

now type something like this:
/say POITYPE: MOB
/say POIZONE: Thundering Steppes
/say POINAME: Ott Stompgutt
/say POIDESC: Named Giant, triggered by various quests
/loc

then press the second macro:
/: loc ; say EQ2MAP_END ; log

now just write a parser that searches the log file for EQ2MAP_START and processes until EQ2MAP_END

The parser can be run after a gaming session, ask for any missing info, check zone names for correctness and submit the info to EQ2MAP automatically. It should also clear the log file after running, or just remove the lines for EQ2MAP as it processes them.

Adding "/who myname" to macro1 would add the reporting toons name AND the correct zone name to the log...
