I don't know of a way to have WriteLog not toggle between the two WinKeyer
outputs as you move between the two Entry windows.  I would just put a RCA
Phono Y-adapter on the WinKeyer outputs.  I do that all the time in
situations like this.  The outputs are open-collector transistors so
effectively you are just wire-ORing them to the K3 KEY input.
