The change is made at a very low level in the program (the actual CW sending
state machine). Essentially if it receives a "command from above" to stop
sending NOW - it will look to see if you have the WAIT UNTIL END OF CHARACTER
flag set. If you do, it will wait until is sees a cw "element" come up that
looks like a character space (or word space) and stop sending then.
I could add another layer of flexibility that allows "above" to indicate if
it should wait for the delay or not... but that would require me to go find
every instance that calls the stop sending command (which I think is in a lot
of places) and decide which ones need to stop right away and which ones can
wait...
Not sure I will get inspired to do that - but you never know.
