(see posting, below).
Someone suggested using FKEYS. I researched this and also contacted the
author (Keith). He agrees that FKEYS s/w must use the mouse. That is
not what I want to do.
Keith also suggested: "Another alternative is Macro Express
(http://www.macros.com/). It doesn't know about Writelog, but is a
very powerful keyboard shortcuts tool that can be set up to change a
single keystroke into several."
I haven't been to Macro Express, yet.
To clarify, here is what want to do:
keep my hands on the keyboard and not have to be mousing around. The
objective is a SINGLE KEYSTROKE that would Log the contact AND also put
the spot out to the spotting net (I am telnet connected).
I would see this feature as something that many ops might want. It
would also have to be toggled on/off as needed without a reboot of WL.

=========================================================
I am trying to figure how to EASILY makes spots in WriteLog. (I am
telnet connected to N7TR or K6LLK).
Yes, I know about CTRL-T, but that is a bit clumsy. So I am going to
set it up to remap CTRL-T to a single key. That will be less clumsy
keystroking, but still it requires a 2nd keystroke (ENTER) to get the
spot posted. (As has been suggested on the NCCC Reflector, I am not
expecting to post the QTH of each spot - that has slowed me down a lot
in my Hunt-n-Pounce operations, anyway.)
Is there a way I can avoid having to strike the ENTER key to get the
spot posted?
Perhaps there is a better way to post a spot using WL; perhaps a
Function Key? How to set that up?
