OK, I resized the WL window, to about 2/3 of the display and scrunched the
RTTYWrite window in the other 1/3, along with the packet/telnet window. I
think when you talk about "undocking" windows, you refer to clicking on the
captive, snap-to-grid monstrosities to make them actual separate windows. I
did that, but they seem to want to run back to mama. I finally got rid of
the ones that were not doing much, sized the others, and was able to make
the whole mess work. That subject needs to be revisited at leisure.
With the above arrangement, life did indeed get much simpler and more
enjoyable, for which much thanks.
Callsign highlighting

I gathered from the RTTYWrite Help file that RTTYWrite looks for "DE" and a
space and presumes what follows is a callsign. But it appears that it looks
to see if what follows is in the CheckPartial or SuperCheckPartial files,
and picks what is closest. That being the case, an up-to-date
SuperCheckPartial file would appear to be essential. Next time...

I'll check that out after the contest.

I have planned to do that.

Unfortunately, I missed Saturday morning. But I have 16 hours in, and over
400K, so I am having fun. There is a lot of activity this weekend!
