Maybe I can clear up some of this...

The cursor going to the RST field is normal.  For the Roundup, it would better
to see it go straight to the QTH field, but it really doesn't matter.  There's
no real problem with it in the RST field.  The software was designed to click
the QTH in the RTTY field and it automatically populates the QTH field
regardless of where the cursor is.  The only time you really need to type in the
QTH field is if you want to manually type it in.  The tab or space bar will move
the cursor to the QTH field as well.

The problem here is you set the timer too low in the auto-CQ window.  Remember
that the amount of time entered is the time from the beginning of one CQ to the
beginning of the next CQ.  So try a larger number.  I usually use 9 or 10 if I
have a short CQ message.  ESC should stop the auto-CQ.
