I send the CTRL-D by using an editor that does hex, and editing the
logcfg.dat file. While in normal text, put in the command for the RTTY
Receive string. Put a space where the CTRL-D will be. Switch to hex mode,
and change the space (x20) to CTRL-D (x04). I use Ultraedit32 to do this,
which I read about here (or maybe on the PSK31 list) a few years ago. It
also does column mode editing, and isn't very expensive.
The problem I have with the transmit command is that the control M is
treated as a carriage return, and just ends up with an extra blank line in
the file. I can't figure out how to make it part of the command and not
just the end of the command.
BTW, somebody suggested CTRL-J in a private email last week. Thanks, but it
didn't work.
