Ed,
Your WL version is a bit long in the tooth, but there is something to check
on. If you haven't done so already, you need to define the various CW
speeds you want to have available within WL. In the current V11.18C this is
done at Setup/Ports then scroll over to find the tab called CW Speeds. I
don't recall from memory how to get to this window in V10.69D, but it's
there somewhere. Look through the various menu choices on the top line of
the WL window. It may be under Setup or Tools.
Once you find the CW Speeds window it is a grid of 16 squares for you to
enter various CW speeds. Say 15, 18, 20, 22. 23, 24, etc. The current CW
Speeds window has two horizontal rows with the speeds increasing from left
to right on the top row and then left to right on the bottom row. In older
WL versions I think the window was more of a square grid and you started in
the first column and increased the speeds as you went down the column. Then
continue increasing the speeds on the next column, etc. until the grid
squares are all filled in. You may have to experiment with this a bit to
make sure you have the speeds in ascending order rather than some random
order. Click on OK to save your choices.
Now go into a WL CW contest module and hit either the Page Up or Page Down
key and watch the bottom row of the WL desktop - second box to the left of
the contest module title. You will see the default CW speed appear. If you
have arranged your CW Speeds window correctly a Page Up will increment the
speed up to the next speed in the grid. Each Page Up key press will
increment the speed up. The Page Down key will decrement the speed with
each key stroke. Go through all the settings and make sure they are in
order. If not, go back to the CW Speeds window and rearrange the speed
settings until they are in the correct order.

Subject: [WriteLog] CW speed change - how?
My version is: 10 69 D. Am trying to slow down cw speed for upcoming FISTS
sprint this weekend. Went to HELP file and came up with a blank page
except for the heading. Tried several methods on my own with no success.
The program does key the FT-2000 with programmed messages - no problem.
But the speed is too high. What are the correct steps to change down to
about 18 w.p.m.? TNX & 73 Ed - W2HTI
