Yep, lots of interesting questions come up after the contest!
I found on trial (after) that you must have the focus in the receive window
somewhere (anywhere) for the alt-n keys to work as advertised.
BUT that brings up one additional question that I am not able to figure out.
How do you make the request have a different format like:
"pse rpt: 3 3 3" ????
Still have not been able to figure that out. There must be a way. At least
most people (from Europe) had similar formats with the number sent several
times. There were many times when the fast fading made it really necessary
to have multiple sends to get the data through.

Subject: Re: [WriteLog] Sending QTC Fills in WAE RTTY
Rick,
I initially had a problem with the ALT+n key to request a fill in the
receive window. Instead of asking for a fill on QTCn it would send the
contents of SHIFT+Fn. After a moment or two of thought I checked the
Keyboard Shortcuts and discovered I had created a whole series of ALT+n
commands for use in SSB contests to send the shifted F key memories by
using ALT+n. I quickly deleted all those shortcuts and it worked fine for
me in the receive window to ask for a fill. I never tried it in send
window as I just used the mouse to click on the QTC to resend. The WAE
Contest instructions for this module indicate that in addition to using
the ALT+n combo you can just use a number key by itself. I've done that
before and it does work.
I too experienced getting the pre-compose window when I hit ALT+K instead
of the normal sending window. That happens to me from time to time and
I've never understood what causes that one to pop up instead of the normal
window. Is it the ALT+something sequence that causes that or something
else? I sure would like to avoid it if I could.

Subject: [WriteLog] Sending QTC Fills in WAE RTTY
Had fun this weekend in RTTY WAE. The QTC support in Writelog is elegant
but I didn't fully master it. After sending one fill successfully using
Alt-<number key>, it stopped working right for any subsequent fill in the
same sequence. After the first Alt-<number key>, subsequent Alt-<number
key>s did nothing, so if my contact needed more than one fill I had to
use
Alt-K to send manually. Worse yet, Alt-K after an Alt-<number key> popped
up the pre-compose window instead of the hot sending window that it would
pop up in other states, so I had to click Transmit to get my transmission
going and then type in the 2nd and subsequent fills. I suspect there is a
missing %E or something like that but I don't know where to put it or
what
else to do. Any help out there?
Tnx & 73,
/Rick
