Re: [WriteLog] modes again

BTW

The commands for the bandmap are in the [Entry] section. Bring up the help 
file and you will find four parameters dealing with that. There might be a 
master parameter that set to zero would turn the rest off but I set each 
one to zero so I would not fool myself at some later reading.

Also notice that there is a new (I think) headphones parameter. But I think 
these are on the menus.

I went thru the whole ini help file and one of my ini files I use to set up 
for contests (the one I need for wpx). Now I have to go thru the rest of 
them making the same corrections.

Don't forget the Keypad1 and Keypad 7 if you are used to using the number 
pad to enter serial numbers. Another example of a feature being turned on 
that violates the normal condition of those keys as Number keys when Num 
Lock is on (one of my pre-contest check list items. "Is NumLock turned On?"

Doing a Setup, Save Configuration will write all these new keyboard 
shortcuts into your ini files.

With all this necessary editing, we sure better have a good frontend 
interface if we finally move all these items to the registery doing away 
with the ini file.
