Dave, you are absolutely right.  I've been using TR since version 4.00
and I'd overlooked that feature for that situation.  Duh.

However, I would still like to request a CQ mode equivalent to ctrl-\ so
that I could move forward when I'm in a bind as though I pressed <enter>
but without sending anything.

It probably would be best to have it be the same key for either point in
the process.  Ctrl-<enter> makes good logical sense as the key you use
when you want to use <enter> but can't.

If it's ctrl-\ for both, I also kinda wish ctrl-\ could be programmed
into a single key like F11 so I could get to it more quickly than having
to use a key combination.

This feature could help CT users and other TR neophytes assimilate
better, by giving them a parallel non-automated sequence as a starting
point.

Thanks for the hint, Dave, and tia Tree for considering my request.
