Failing that, is there a function in Max to record an action, and then play it back so one button will do multiple functions, much the same as the way photoshop does?
Yes, it's called script listener.

I make quick and dirty scripts all the time.
Just:
1) get the 'thing/action to script' ready to go
2) right click on script listener and make sure it's enabled and 'clear' of existing script
3) do the action
4) save the script listener to a file
5) open that file in the script editor
6) highlight the text in the editor and drag it to a tool bar
7) name it "Matt's Cool Script #1"

I use this all the time to help with editing the face of a poly for greebling.
I inset, extrude, etc and then I can click on any face (no matter if the face is bigger or smaller than the original face) and click a button, and I have an IDENTICLE 50-step greeble applied to that face.

Hope that helps
