I had a case that the program added the first two off times together but
on the third off it did not recognize the first two. I think what I may
have done was to put some off commands in one of the two networked computers
and some in the other. I do not remember...but I thought since the
recognition of the off/on commands showed on both computers that it would
not make any difference...but maybe it did. So I added it up with a
pencil...not too hard. John K9dx

Subject: [TRLog] \ON and \OFF
Yes, I've had this happen if I enter a FORWARD slash instead of a
BACKSLASH.
Enter /OFF and the computer sends it as code.
Enter \OFF and the program logs a break.
