I agree with W2UP's comments regarding item 6. I did a lot of search and
pounce this weekend and like Barry, found it a "pain" to have to copy the
power over and over. Yes, PLEASE Please fix that!
I didn't have WL set up to use the insert key (wishing all the while that it
did) but will make the changes in the .ini to implement that.
