If I hit enter as explained in the help files and manual it doe enter the
log but it also sends messages depending on what is in the call filed and
where the cursor is. I think it is because I have Enter sends exch/qrz
function turned on in Entry window ? I will check that. I thought it was
needed for the enter to work but I see it is probably not. As you say,
always learning. RTTY was my first use of the program.

Gil, there are many ways to use WL. After a couple of years, I
learn new<br>
things all the time. Here's one way to do it:<br><br>
S&P: F4 sends my call. He answers. F5 sends the
exchange to him. After<br>
he confirms, I hit ENTER (not ctl-enter) and it silently logs. I
don't know<br>
why yours isn't working that way now. I've never even heard
about<br>
ctl-enter...see what I mean about still learning?<br>
</blockquote><br>
If I hit enter as explained in the help files and manual it doe enter the

1. Answering station's call IS highlighted green or yellow:
Just hit the<br>
INS key to send his callsign and exchange. He replies. Then
just hit the<br>

2. Answering station's call is NOT highlighted: Click on the

don't<br>
why/how this should be much simpler.<br><br>
Also, you can use Macro Express to automate almost anything the way
you<br>
prefer. Hope this helps some. 73<br>
